The Bug is reproducable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: - Login a normal user - klick on download file in web site - change to radio button "sate to Disk" - Click on OK button Expected Results: A Error message with text: Insufficent Access Rights on Folder XYZ
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060212 Firefox/1.6a1 Confirmed, but a correct error message is shown if you try to save a page to a folder for which you do not have the correct permissions.
Looking at the command-line output when this happens, you get the following: *** exception in validateLeafName: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsILocalFile.create]" nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "JS frame :: file:///home/philip/mozilla/fx-opt-dynamic/dist/bin/components/nsHelperAppDlg.js :: anonymous :: line 249" data: no]

Ever confirmed: true

Hardware: PC → All
Version: unspecified → Trunk
The bug is still there in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008011404 Minefield/3.0b3pre No error dialog is shown when initiating a download by following a link (and choosing “Save File”), adding this message in the Error console: “Error: uncaught exception: unknown (can't convert to string)”. An error dialog is shown when when using the context menu, though.
Severity: normal → major
The proposed text changes... It's at least a start. Not sure if it's the right place...
From my findings, the bug only happens when you have the "Save files to" selection made in the Options->General->Download section. The "Always ask me where to save files" selection defers to the OS, which *should* provide the correct insufficient rights message. The problem (as referenced in the patch) begins in the makeFileUnique function. The exception handler assumes there won't be an access deined problem and continues to try and create a unique filename. The exception eventually bubbles out and you get something reported in the error console. Let me know if you need other bits of information. I'm new to this process, so please bear with me.
Steve, thanks for the patch and the testing! Can you a) post a combined patch b) request review on it, from sdwilsh@forerunnerdesigns.com?

Ok, I'll work in the suggested changes later on tonight. Some of the ??? areas were a result of me messing around. The venkman plug-in wasn't available for the build I had, so I had to figure out where the exception was being called from.
Any idea where Cr is defined? What would I need to pull in? I'll look for myself, but if anyone knows right away it'll save me some time.
Sorry - Cr is shorthand for Components.results

Ok, not real sure why the diff is coming out with the whole file? Sorry! Any suggestions? My guess would be my editor. Not sure how to fix?
you probably changed it to windows line endings.
Ok, maybe I'll get it right this time... Sorry!

No, I didn't want to change the behavior of the exception handler in any way except when the access denied result comes through. I guess you could have a != and throw on the else, but what's the difference?

Moving this to P4, although I think we should still take this post beta because it is low risk and a big win for some of our linux users.

Attached patch Update on comment #27 review (deleted) — Splinter Review
Sorry, I saw this marked for check-in and haven't checked back since. As for the line wrappings, I'm not sure how you can avoid exceeding 80 chars here: var prompter = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/embedcomp/prompt-service;1"] .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPromptService); I'm unsure of the accepted style for this block? Is there a link that I can be referred to for development guidelines?
Attachment #309574 - Flags: review?(sdwilsh)
(In reply to comment #33) > var prompter = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/embedcomp/prompt-service;1"] > .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPromptService); In cases like that, that's the best we can do, which is fine.
I'm seeing a lot of errors that spit the following in the error console: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIDOMLocation.href]" nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://venkman/content/venkman-handlers.js :: isWindowFiltered :: line 80" data: no] I'm seeing an Assert also pop-up more specifically referencing the .cpp. I'm not running the debug build so I can't exactly remember the true assert messasge. Something about a top-level window not being there. At any rate, I don't think it has anything to do w/ this bug and I'm curious if anyone else is seeing this?
Note, this is when I click a link to download something with a different content type. Here's a silly example: http://www.ipecac.com/archives/previews/pink_anvil-desert.mp3 Sometimes it'll work as advertised and sometimes it'll error in way described in comment #35
