clearing cache with _FFCmd

[7121]

Hey guys, I know this is probably an easy task but I don't know how to clear the cache on the MozRepl, or either that I really don't know my javascript anyway.

The cache I wanted to clear is the Memory cache, i searched around and i came to this

function clearcachebutton_clearCache()

{

var cacheService = getCacheService();

var alertService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/alerts-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIAlertsService);

var loc = new localizedStrings();

try

{

cacheService.evictEntries(Components.interfaces.nsICache.STORE_ON_DISK);

cacheService.evictEntries(Components.interfaces.nsICache.STORE_IN_MEMORY);

notify(loc.popupTitle, loc.successMessage);

}

catch(exception)

{

notify("Exception", exception);

}

//

// return a reference to the cache service

//

function getCacheService()

{

var cacheClass = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/cache-service;1"];

var service = cacheClass.getService(Components.interfaces.nsICacheService);

return service;

}

// Notify user

function notify(title, body)

{

alertService.showAlertNotification("chrome://clearcache/skin/logo_32.png", title, body, false, "", null);

}

}

I tried sending the commands with this:

_FFCmd("cacheService.evictEntries(Components.interfaces.nsICache.STORE_ON_DISK);")

and

_FFCmd("cacheService.evictEntries(Components.interfaces.nsICache.STORE_IN_MEMORY);")

So far I'm only recieving errors back. Can anyone help me? I could get an addon but then i would have to study the javascript in the addon itself wouldn't I?

You have to define "cacheService" before you can use it. Try this:

_FFCmd('var cacheService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/cache-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsICacheService);')

Thank you DAN, i beleive you are right, i took a look at the patterning and it appears you have to do some combining and I didn't know how to combine the functions haha so I believe this will work. I'm going to try it now.
