Can't make removeVisitsByTimeframe method work.

[4meFirst]

So, I don't even know how to describe the problem, here is the code:

Code: Select all

var browserHistory = Cc["@mozilla.org/browser/nav-history-service;1"]
                    .getService(Ci.nsIBrowserHistory);

Code: Select all

// clear one 
var now = Date.now();
browserHistory.removeVisitsByTimeframe(now - (60000 * 60), now);

And it just does nothing, no errors, no warnigs, no logs. I have no idea why this code doesn't clear the history, please help.

How do you know it does nothing? This isn't supposed to clear history. It only removes visits in the specified range of times, although this may completely invalidate some cache entries.

In your particular case, the times given are probably not what you intended. You have used milliseconds since epoch, while the function is expecting microseconds since epoch. So you have actually requested to remove visits for a short period in January 1970.

Thanks lithopsian, I saw no result in history so I thought it does nothing, but this was my problem, I called it with milliseconds, I changed it and now see the results.

Excellent.
