Simulator fails to start when path contains accented character

[wildfier]

Hi, I'm running on Arch Linux 64 bits and when I launch the simulator the phone screen is black with the mozilla logo. Nothing else except that B2G uses 11% of the CPU (I have a i7). I have the following errors :

Sorry for the delay responding! Do you still see the issue after installing the latest preview release of the Simulator?

Latest preview release: Windows, Mac, and Linux.

[wildfier]

Hi, I have the 1.0 version and I still have this problem.

[mykmelez]

@wildfier: could you try installing the latest preview release and see if you still experience the problem?

[wildfier]

I have removed and try to reinstall it but I can't download it. I don't even see it in the add-ons panel from firefox itself. The download link seems to be broken.

I did the update (thanks for your link). So I tried the 2.0pr6 version and I this time the virtual phone displays a "based on mozilla technology" screen and nothing more appended. The errors messages seems a bit different :

Some of those failures are probably unrelated, but others are probably relevant. Nevertheless, it's hard to tell what the problem is from the messages.

I wonder if it's related to the path to the Firefox profile containing an accented character. Try creating a directory whose path doesn't contain such a character, then run Firefox with the profile set to that directory:

mkdir /path/to/profile
/path/to/firefox -no-remote -profile /path/to/profile

Then install the latest preview build of the Simulator and see if you still have the problem.

[wildfier]

Indeed you were right. I now works perfectly thank you.

[mykmelez]

Great, I'm glad it works for you now! I'm going to leave this issue open to track the problem, since we'll want to figure out why it happens and fix the underlying problem.

[ochameau]

I tried to reproduce this issue by launching the addon in a profile with accents and I haven't seen any issue on both windows, nor linux.
But, I remember having seen this nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]" nsresult: "0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) exception myself while testing another issue (#536). That ended up being an unknown environment issue. The only way to get rid of the exception was to do a make clean!!!
