After clicking on Create New Profile a Profile Missing window pops up.

[fruchtiger]

Though this window pops up, a new unnamed profile is created. This occurres on ubuntu 12.04

Hey there. Can you please help me by getting some debug messages.

Hi Johann thanks for the report. Can you please help me by giving me the following info:

1. Please install addon GitHub Extension Installer
2. Go to DevPrefs GitHub repository: https://github.com/Noitidart/DevPrefs
3. Click on "Add to Firefox"
4. Then go to the Profilist Repository
5. Open Browser Console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + J
6. Press clear, this will empty the Browser Console
7. Now back on Github Profilist repository, click on "Add to Firefox". This will install the addon.
8. Go to menu and click "Create New Profile"
9. After about 10 seconds please go to Browse Console then copy all the debug messages and paste here
10. You can now uninstall DevPrefs addon

Notes for self:

• Looks like %s varies: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/profile/nsToolkitProfileService.cpp#929
• Figure out how GetRelativeDescriptor works: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ident?i=GetRelativeDescriptor&tree=mozilla-central&filter=
• Probably good idea to figure out how GetPersistentDescriptor works as well
• CreateProfile implementation: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/profile/nsToolkitProfileService.cpp#699

[Noitidart]

Hey fruchtiger I made the steps above more simple to follow, no need for copy pasting any code, can you please do that and paste back to me the browser console messages.

[fruchtiger]

Hi, im not sure if it worked properly. I had to open the console via the australis menu -> Developer. After the click on Create New Profile, it did not log much.

Thanks man for the try/effort. Did you install DevPrefs and Profilist from the repositories I linked?

i also get the profile cannot launch error

[yajd]

The issue that needs to be resolved:

Figure out what profileDir is being set to here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/profile/nsToolkitProfileService.cpp#669

[yajd]

var me = Services.wm.getMostRecentWindow(null);
var DefProfRt = FileUtils.getFile('DefProfRt', []);
//me.alert(DefProfRt.path)
//me.alert(DefProfRt.persistentDescriptor)
//me.alert(OS.Constants.Path.userApplicationDataDir)
var userApplicationDataDir = new FileUtils.File(OS.Constants.Path.userApplicationDataDir);

var IsRelative = true;
if (IsRelative) {
    var IniPathStr = new FileUtils.File(OS.Constants.Path.userApplicationDataDir); //start at root dir
    var profDirRelToRoot = DefProfRt.getRelativeDescriptor(IniPathStr);
    me.alert('profDirRelToRoot = "' + profDirRelToRoot + '"');
    IniPathStr.appendRelativePath(profDirRelToRoot); //append profiles.ini folder //have to use appendRelativePath because if profDirRelToRoot is not a single folder name or blank we cannot use append it throws error: "Exception: Component returned failure code: 0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH) [nsILocalFile.append]"
    IniPathStr.append('unnamed profile 1'); //append profile folder

    var dummyAppend = 'DUMMY';
    userApplicationDataDir.append(dummyAppend);
    //me.alert(userApplicationDataDir.path)
    var replaceThis = userApplicationDataDir.path.substr(0, userApplicationDataDir.path.length-dummyAppend.length); //because i want to replace the first / or \ or whatever the os uses so we append dummy then just substr out the folder name but leave the path divider/seperator
    me.alert(IniPathStr.path.replace(replaceThis, ''))
} else {
    //var IniPathStr = BLAH.persistantDescriptor;
}

Ok @fruchtiger I think I got it,

please go to my profilist repository: https://github.com/Noitidart/Profilist/

and install it, thats a patch to fix this. btw this is noit from another account

please let me know how it works out.

[fruchtiger]

Hi Noitidart, im not sure how to install via the repository. Do I need to replace the bootstrap.js ?

[Noitidart]

Please install addon GitHub Extension Installer (click this link) and then go to the repository and you'll see a button that says "Add to Firefox". Like this: https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/img/uploads/previews/full/113/113974.png?modified=1380155370

[fruchtiger]

Works fine now. Good job.

[Noitidart]

Cool thanks man for that confirmation. I plan to release 1.1 tonight with all these bug fixes.
