Not working on Ubuntu 11.10, Firefox 9.0.1

[gauravchauhan]

I am trying to print the long, lat inside my action and here is the output :

latitude : 0.0 longitude : 0.0

If i load the showMap action ( http://localhost:8080/testGeoLocOnGrails2/geolocation/showMap ) it takes me to somewhere below Nigeria.

Works on Chrome on same machine.

Not working on Firefox 9.0.1 on windows 7 machine as well. Looks like the issue is common with firefox. It always return 0 for both long and lat.

Further debugging this issue i found out the following :

I added few debug statements inside foundLocation method :

console.debug("position : "+position.coords.longitude); var jsonPos = JSON.stringify(position); console.debug(" jsonPos : "+jsonPos);

Here is the output : position : 77.33 jsonPos : {}

Looks like it encountered error while parsing the json on firefox. It can fetch position easily but it can't parse it.

Still looking for a fix.

Any thoughts on this ?

IMPORTANT: I think this issue is solved with the proposed correction in issue # 8.

@jcolombo1 : Did you submit a pull request ? I would like to test the new code on my system.

Hi. Sébastien Blanc (author)‏ told me that will upgrade it tonight.

Anyway, I attach file with correction made for transient test. You must replace it in: -> plugins-> geolocation 0.4 -> views-> templates (in STS Eclipse IDE).

I hope that works for you too! Jorge Colombo Argentina

@jcolombo1 : Where did you attach the file ?

You're probably seeing this behaviour from Firefox. The Firefox implementation of JSON.stringify, which returns an empty string, is correct here as per spec. See that link for details.

Thanks for clarification
