There's a clause for evaluating keypaths on File objects with the "lastModifiedDate" property. That property is only implemented in some browsers (Chrome, Firefox, maybe Edge?, but not Safari) but is not in the https://w3c.github.io/FileAPI/ standard.

This should be reconciled - either spec it or remove it from IDB.

This is also covered in test that should be updated appropriately:

It looks like Firefox has managed to unship lastModifiedDate (or my note was wrong).

HTTPArchive searches are pretty much useless here since it's very common property name used by developers (e.g. JIRA records). We'll need to instrument in Chrome to determine usage.

Are you looking for usage of File.lastModifiedDate in general, or about its usage in IndexedDB specifically? The first one is measured in https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/212 (and removal tracked in https://crbug.com/692728)

(and the chrome bug does indeed mention that Firefox was going to remove lastModifiedDate in FF 61)

TPAC 2019 Web Apps Indexed DB triage notes:

Delete it from the spec, then it's just a Chrome problem. Good luck, Chrome. (Oh wait....)

Remove lastModifiedDate handling. (#300)
2bc2e3c 
Several browsers used to implement a nonstandard lastModifiedDate property on File objects. This has been removed everywhere except Chrome, and it's not in the File API spec. This specification included special cases for keypath evaluation of that property name, and it wasn't tested. Remove the references.

Closes #215
