Trouble with stringbundles and XULRunner

[McKnight, Mark]

Hi all,



I am following the directions in the tutorial at:



http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XUL_Tutorial:Property_Files



First I create a test.properties file in the content directory alongside
my .xul file with the following content:



message.helloWorld=Hello World.



Then I add the following code to my .xul file (copied and pasted from
the tutorial):



<stringbundleset id="strbundles">

<stringbundle id="strings"
src="test.properties"/>

</stringbundleset>



Finally, I add this code to my .js file (again pulled directly from the
tutorial):



var strbundle = document.getElementById("strings");

var helloWorld=strbundle.getString("message.helloWorld");

alert(helloWorld);



When I run the application with XULRunner (1.9b5pre - 2008031309) I
receive the following error message in the Error Console:



Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure
code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI)
[nsIStringBundle.GetStringFromName]" nsresult: "0x804b000a
(NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI)" location: "JS frame :: XStringBundle ::
getString :: line 17" data: no]



Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks in advance,



Mark.

[Question]

src="test.properties"
Try a chrome:// absolute path instead.
Hope it helps.

Thanks everyone!



Changing "test.properties" to
"chrome://test_application/content/test.properties" solved the issue.

Mark.

Changing "test.properties" to "chrome://test_application/content/test.properties" solved the issue.

The point of .properties files is that they live in /locale/ rather than
/content/ ...

Warning: May contain traces of nuts.

Even then it wants a chrome URl. Either the code or docs need
correcting.

Use the full chrome URL to test.properties.
