986998 - self is not defined in Social API worker

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox Graveyard :: SocialAPI, defect)

Description

[pbmaxi]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140317233501

Steps to reproduce:

I wanted to write a Social API provider and tried to access the self object from within the main worker.


Actual results:

The self object does not exist.


Expected results:

According to the documentation (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Social_API/Service_worker_API_reference), "a Service Worker inherits all the limitations and behaviors available to HTML5 Shared Workers".
So it should also be possible to access the self object (first paragraph of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/Performance/Using_web_workers).
