(NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIFile.create]"

Jon Rubin
And with what can only be described as synchronicity, I got the problem with creating new files :)

JavaScript Error: "[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIFile.create]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/storage.js :: _processZipDownload :: line 807" data: no]" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/storage.js" line: 807}]

error id 1843695901

firefox 3.5.3 Zotero r5087 Puppy Linux

    I'm guessing this is the same as http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8373/, which we haven't yet fixed.
  • Jon Rubin
    Do you want a debug sending?
  • dstillman
    Yes, if you're still seeing this, could you provide a Debug ID? Thanks.

    Hi Dan, no worries sync is behaving very nicely. Probably helps that the latest version of Puppy linux has (finally) got UTF-8 support out-of-the-box.
    If it does reappear, I'll send a debug through.
    Thanks, Jon.

    Well, it's back.
    I did a debug report
    D310675177

    and the normal error report
    1851642009

    Zotero r5241 Puppy linux 4.3

    Regards, Jon
    Oh and an unrelated PS - is there something a bit wrong with Advanced Search? on both my Puppy and Ubuntu machines, if I do the normal " before a search, it is incredibly slow to respond to the keyboard, almost as though it is doing a normal quick search, just not showing anything. It says Advanced Search, but I think something is a bit awry.

    Hi Dan, installed subversion as the web link wasn't updating. So running r5270 now.
    Still getting the [nsIFile.create] error and it seems to think a file is a symlink too. Also a lot of these errors:

    [JavaScript Error: “[Exception... “‘Trying to update finished request null/5WEUXKB4 in Zotero.Sync.Storage.Request.onProgress()’ when calling method: [nsIProgressEventSink::onProgress]” nsresult: “0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)” location: “<unknown>” data: no]”]

    So error reports:

    D1571283466
    563508502

    dumb question: if I check install.rdf all it says 2.0b7.SVN for the version. Is there a way I can tell what version it's running, short of checking the website here
    https://www.zotero.org/svn/extension/trunk/

    Regards,
    Jon.
