Hmm, is this actually main-thread IO? My understanding is that the stream passed by asyncFetch to the callback is an in-memory stream of the data read from the underlying file stream off-main-thread. So while I think that patch is useful (OS.File is a better overall API for this), I think that particular patch isn't getting rid of any main-thread IO.

Yes, I agree. Main-thread IO here is mostly due to exists() calls. Some of them I think aren't worth fixing, others instead happen at startup and should be fixed (in loadCurrentRegistry and in _readManifests). I'll post an updated patch.

Ah, indeed, my bad: this particular line number wasn't doing any main thread I/O.

On the other hand, for coreAppsDir, I would define a lazy getter that calls FileUtils.getDir() (without any directory creation) to resolve that name. 2) Use OS.File to remove directories (there isn't yet an OS.File alternative to the nsIFile recursive remove function). 3) There are other places, much less important, where there's main thread IO (for example in installPreinstalledApps and installSystemApps, but they are only executed on first run and upgrades and only on b2g). I think we can start to land this in the meantime (when it's r+ed of course :D) and leave the bug open to fix the other things. Note that this doesn't apply cleanly to trunk, because I've other patches in my queue that modify the same file (I hope to land them soon).

(In reply to Marco Castelluccio [:marco] from comment #10) > (there isn't yet an OS.File alternative > to the nsIFile recursive remove function).

Seems reasonable, but we should move the remaining work to a followup bug - "leave bug open for further work" (i.e. tracking multiple separate landings in the same bug) just leads to confusing bug histories, and bugs are cheap :)

I have encountered cases in which foo.then(null, Cu.reportError) reported nothing. I haven't really investigated them, though. I guess the thing to do is test whether WebApps.jsm displays errors in case of error, with just Cu.reportError.

(In reply to David Rajchenbach Teller [:Yoric] from comment #14) > I have encountered cases in which foo.then(null, Cu.reportError) reported > nothing. I haven't really investigated them, though. Maybe that's because of bug 904929. Exceptions in the function passed to Task.spawn are, at the moment, just discarded.

I've changed my mind, I'll write several independent patches that also improve the readability of the code in Webapps.jsm, this way we'd kill two birds with one stone. This first patch: 1) Improves the code called to load the registry at startup using Task.jsm, removing all the callbacks. 2) Makes _readManifests, _writeFile, _saveApps, _loadJSONAsync return a promise. This will ease the usage of Task.jsm in the following patches. 3) Rewrites _readManifests in a non-recursive way. 4) Removes some getDir(…, …, true, …), where it can be done safely.

Forgot to qref...

I'll ask Fabrice to review the next patch. Sounds good.

This second patch includes the changed made in the other one and also removes many other callbacks using promises. Now most of the main-thread IO is gone (the remaining things will probably need bug 772538). I realize the patch is pretty big, but it's mostly code moved around (mostly callbacks removed thanks to Task.jsm). Try push here: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=e122cba93bab

I've looked at all the places where |true| was used and it looks like it mostly wasn't necessary (for example sometimes it's used right before removing the directory). What tests could I add?

Comment on attachment 807980 [details] [diff] [review] Patch Let's wait for the try run results before.

As I thought the emulator failures were due to the initialization refactoring, I think we can start to land this part first (so that I don't have to rebase it so often).

I'm using Promise.jsm because in my opinion it makes code more readable than DOM promises (because when you create a DOM promise you need to specify a callback). I think Promise.jsm implementation is going to be ported to DOM promises, so this shouldn't be a problem. I can switch to DOM promises anyway, if you prefer.

At the moment, our policy on m-c is to use Promise.jsm, until DOM Promise are considered stable. The specification of DOM Promise is too much in flux to make it worth using them yet. When DOM Promise have stabilized, we will certainly port Promise.jsm to DOM Promise anyway.

We have update tests now, so I'm clearing the needinfo request.

I'd guess the patch is heavily bitrotten now. Fabrice, if I rewrite a new patch, do you have some time to review it?

Sure, but we'll land that after we branch b2g 1.3.

The Apps API code has been removed in bug 1261019.
