SecurityError when storage is disabled

[joaofernandes]

If a user disables cache (privacy settings > prevent all sites to set data), Dexie throws this error

Uncaught SecurityError: Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document.

Line

localStorage: ((typeof chrome !== "undefined" && chrome !== null ? chrome.storage : void 0) != null ? null : global.localStorage)

Thanks. localStorage we should then do a try/catch around localStorage because we don't really need it. It is only used for making Dexie.getDatabaseNames() work. Ill look into it later.

Thanks!

Any update on that issue ?

[dfahlander]

No. Thanks for reminder

I hope the last checkin helps. However, if you forbid the browser from storing any any data locally, indexedDB would also be disabled, so expect another error, I suppose.

If I remember correctly, it happens in Safari in private mode (not sure if database is disabled too). But I think the lib can fail more gracefully than dying during initialization ;)

[dfahlander]

So true ;)

Solved in v1.3.4
