localStorage and the dom_storage_quota manifest property don't appear to be working together

[james.m...@a-cti.com]

Hello,

I'm not quite sure if I'm doing something wrong or not, but in the package.json manifest I set the following property:

 "dom_storage_quota": 1000

Now, that's in megabytes, yet I still end up with an error when adding things to storage:

Error: An attempt was made to add something to storage that exceeded the quota.

Now, the total length of the string I'm storing is:

localStorage.storage.length

10449325

Now, that doesn't seem like 1000 MB worth of data!

Neither does what I'm trying to add to it:

JSON.stringify(data).length

16466842

So, is this a bug, or is the dom_storage_quota not for the localStorage quota, but for one of the other storage API's instead?

Thank you for any help you can provide!  I'm using the 0.8.3 version of node-webkit:

process.versions["node-webkit"]

"0.8.4"

Seconded, I'm getting this quota exceeded error as well (storing 12mb of data) and I have dom_storage_quota at 4096. Version 0.8.4. Thanks!

I am having the exact same problem.

using v0.12.2, v0.12.3 and even on v0.16.

Any hit how to solve this?

I think the fix for me was to move the storage directory out of the directory the app was in. For some reason, having the storage dir inside (as a child any level deep) of the app directory breaks it. Try explicitly setting your DOM storage directory to a location in the user's home. Not sure what the switch / option to do that is though.
