Various Javascript errors in console

[Joe Atzberger]

There are a large number of js errors reported in console. I don't have time to ferret out fixes to them all right now, so this ticket will serve a list of those encountered. All these can be experienced between login, F4 (patron search) and retrieve patron.

Versions:
Evergreen: 1.6.00.0099 trunk
Xulrunner: 1.9.0.13

Error: _l is not defined
Source File: chrome://open_ils_staff_client/content/OpenILS/util/org_utils.js
Line: 117

"Error: not well-formed" is given for the first line of each these files, relative to the C:/Users/atz/Documents/current-client-build/vm7_build/chrome/ directory (in order):
   locale/en-US/offline.properties
   locale/en-US/auth.properties
   content/util/error.js
   content/util/sound.js
   content/util/window.js
   content/auth/controller.js
   content/OpenILS/data.js
   content/util/network.js
   content/util/file.js
   content/util/controller.js
   content/auth/session.js
   content/util/widgets.js
   content/util/mozilla.js

That is confusing because some of those files aren't even javascript!

Minor Warning: Deprecated property window.title used. Please use document.title instead.

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.statusText]" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://open_ils_staff_client/content/main/JSAN.js :: anonymous :: line 520" data: no]

On many pages, including patron search and patron search results:
     Warning: Empty string passed to getElementById().
This appears to be common, probably harmless (but sloppy).

I am receiving a JavaScript error like these when exporting transactions from the staff client and attempting the "auto purge" feature:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIFile.moveTo]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://open_ils_staff_client/content/main/main.js :: anonymous :: line 227" data: no]

My steps:

1. Create offline transactions.

2. Export Transactions (from login screen)

3. Select Yes that I would like to purge transactions from the staff client.

4. The above error appears and transactions are not purged.

Current workaround is to manually delete the pending_xacts file from the chrome directory.

Forgot to mention... This occurs in 1.4.0.X and 1.6.0.X staff clients.

Chris, yours is a different bug. To avoid it getting lost, please report it separately.

[Chris Sharp (chrissharp123)]

Thanks, Mike - will do.

Lots of JavaScript errors appear in the console still with the 2.0 b4 client. This doesn't seem to be a high priority, though, as they do not appear to affect functionality.

[Jason Stephenson (jstephenson)]

Haven't done anything about it by now, we probably never will.
