93848 - Address Boook not functional (bug 78933 regression?)

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Jacek Piskozub]

A CVS Win32 trunk build created after the 8/04 check-in for bug 78933 has empty
address book on existing profiles. To make it worse, it is impossible to add any
new address to the empty addressbook as the OK button seems dead.

I'm pulling & building on my home machine in an attempt to reproduce (everything
worked fine on Saturday checkin :-/).  That'll be a couple of hours, and then
I'll update here...

Just to be sure, I deleted component.reg and made a new CVS build. This
miraculously healed the address book. It seems the bug was invalid, after all.
Marking.

I get the following error with tonights CVS build on solaris:
error verifying accounts [Exception... "Could not convert Native argument arg 0
[nsIMsgAccountManager.accounts]"  nsresult: "0x8057000a
(NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_NATIVE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://messenger/content/accountUtils.js :: verifyAccounts :: line 74"  data:
no]
failed to set webshell window

After removing component.reg and running regxpcom it worked again.
I still got
failed to set webshell window
though.

I'm reopening this, and setting it as smoketest blocker. Just to be sure others
don't file dupes on this. (It dropped of today's bug list, too.)
The workaround should probably be on tinderbox.

Sent mail to the hook (and therefore .builds) with the "remove component.reg"
info; that should be sufficient, I hope.  Closing.

cls, is this what you were seeing on friday?

Comment 6

[cls]

Yes, that was the error I was seeing.  After I clobbered my build, I couldn't
reproduce it.

Mark it verified.
