User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Build ID: 20170608105825

Steps to reproduce:

const MY_CONST = { 'key': 'value' };
MY_CONST.key = 'other value';


Actual results:

/*
Exception: SyntaxError: redeclaration of const MY_CONST
@Scratchpad/1:1:1
*/


Expected results:

it should change the value of key to 'other value', because as the per the documentation on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Grammar_and_types it should change the value (as per the attached screen shot), it is working correctly in chrome console.

what's the exact steps do you follow?
you're typing it in Scratchpad, right?
did you hit "Run" twice?

Scratchpad evaluates entire code in the same environment every time you hit "Run".
possible situation that you get the redeclaration error is the following:
  1. write "const MY_CONST = { 'key': 'value' };"
  2. hit "Run"
  3. write "MY_CONST.key = 'other value';" in the next line
  4. hit "Run"
in that case, "const MY_CONST = { 'key': 'value' };" is evaluated twice, and it results in redeclaration.

if your case isn't above, please describe the detailed steps.

also, if you want console, you can use Web Console.
