963536 - [Contacts][WebIDL] Array copy strange behavior

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: DOM: Contacts, defect)

Description

[Germán Toro del Valle (:gtorodelvalle)]

OK, so this bug popped up when solving bug 960525 so I would recommend taking a look at it to start with ;-)

In fact, all the info I have about the issue is detailed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=960525#c9 but trying to sum it up: it seems we have an issue when copying properties of a contact which are an Array of at least one null ([null]) or undefined entry ([undefined]).

If you need further information, please do not hesitate to need-info me ;-) Thanks!

Hi Julien, could you shed some light on this or maybe recommend me someone to need-info about it? :) Thanks!

I think the behavior you're seeing there is the (expected) stringification of the element, so [null] becomes ["null"], etc. The real question is how you're getting the [null] array there, if that object is also a mozContact. I commented in the other bug as well.

So I guess we should close this bug as RESOLVED - WONTFIX? Waiting for Reuben's confirmation before doing it :-) Thanks!

Looks like it, according to the explanation in bug 960525.
