Unfortunately this will need to be partly redone, since retrieveItem(), and
therefore itemToCSLJSON(), and therefore itemToExportFormat(), need to be
synchronous. The item data load statements in itemToExportFormat() will
probably need to be performed earlier, when they can be async, and made
available to the session for retrieval by retrieveItem(), but I'll let someone
more familiar with the citation infrastructure do that.
This restores some code in retrieveItem() that may have been accidentally
removed in a merge, though it probably won't be useful anymore anyway.
Addresses #529
Now that 500 errors are retried in file downloads (ec28c5a3), we have to
override the default backoff schedule in order to get expected failures.
This also fixes an error that occurred on a retried download.
In Fx44, SQL queries must use '?' with LIKE and cannot concatenate a
placeholder string (e.g., 'foo%'). This is for Sqlite.jsm only, so it
doesn't affect 4.0.
For now, delete it and clear it from the cache so it's updated properly going
forward, but really we want to reinstall the correct file automatically
(#903).
Mozilla file functions (OS.File.move()/copy(),
NetUtil.asyncFetch/asyncCopy()) can leave file descriptors open for a
few seconds (even with an explicit inputStream.close() in the case of
the latter), so a source installation that copies ~500 translators and
styles (with fds for source and target) can exceed the default 1024
limit.
For some reason the confirmEx prompt behaves differently (as a modal
window?) on Ubuntu if it's the only window open, preventing the
setTimeout() callback within support.js::waitForWindow() from being run.
(Passing -c to the test runner fixed it.) This removes a win.close() in
the middle of the file, which was probably a mistake anyway, so that the
pref window stays open until the end of the file.
This apparently has been happening for a year, since #617.
Might be better to show open/save on cancel, as implemented for the
RIS/BibTeX prompt in 4ecdd55 (which caused this), but that would have to
wait for the better promise handling in 5.0. Doing "Save Link As..." for
a CSL file also seems a bit more straightforward than for RIS/BibTeX,
which can be served in complicated ways.
Instead, pass ids directly to SQLite. This seems to take about the same
amount of time or a little less (by avoiding the time it takes to start
a transaction) and avoids blocking other transactions when switching
views.
