970872 - WorkerAPI: failed to handle message 'social.ambient-notification': Error: unable to set notifications while logged out

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: SocialAPI, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

On Talkilla, we (re)set the socialambient-notification after the social.user-profile message so that we can set the icon on the toolbar. Currently we are getting this message when we do this in our logged out state:

WorkerAPI: failed to handle message 'social.ambient-notification': Error: unable to set notifications while logged out
SocialProvider.prototype.setAmbientNotification@resource://gre/modules/SocialService.jsm:864
WorkerAPI.prototype.handlers["social.ambient-notification"]@resource://gre/modules/WorkerAPI.jsm:69
_handleMessage@resource://gre/modules/WorkerAPI.jsm:45
fw_AbstractPort_onmessage@resource://gre/modules/MessagePortBase.jsm:57
_Worker.prototype.receiveMessage@resource://gre/modules/FrameWorker.jsm:95

Shane told me a while ago, that this shouldn't be happening, as we don't need to be logging in via user-profile.

Here's the code we're using:

    var userData = {
      iconURL: iconURL,
      userName: this._name,
      displayName: this._name,
      profileURL: this._rootURL + "/user.html"
    };

    // This needs to be sent to the browser for Firefox 28 and earlier
    // (pre bug 935640).
    browserPort.postEvent('social.user-profile', userData);

    // This is needed for Firefox 29 onwards (post bug 935640).
    browserPort.postEvent('social.ambient-notification', {
      iconURL: iconURL
    });
