Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1001833

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrei]

Attachment: bug.xpi

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140506152807

Steps to reproduce:

I was working with the "page-worker" module and noticed the "JavaScript error: , line 0: can't access dead object" when I did some testing on disabling the add-on I was working on.

Add-on SDK version 1.16.

To reproduce create a project with the following code in the "main.js" file:

var pgWorker = require("sdk/page-worker").Page({
});

I suspect that this is bug 985332. Can you test with a beta or aurora version of Firefox?

Comment 2

Yes, it's still showing up unfortunately: TypeError: can't access dead object tabbrowser.xml:1097 (I've taken this from the Browser Console).

Matteo, could this be bug 1001833?

So, in Firefox Aurora 31.0a2 (2014-05-12) the error is still showing up. I also get a similar error when using the SDK's "sdk/ui" ActionButton component: "JavaScript error: chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml, line 1094: can't access dead object"

I am sorry, I don't understand why this has been marked as "Resolved" since obviously the bug is still present. Is this just the norm? Thank you!

It's "resolved" as duplicate of bug 1001833. This bug it's just the same of the one we're already working on. You can follow the progress there!

> Thank you!

You're welcome!

I understand, thank you for explaining it to me! It just makes more sense to me to be "Verified" and "Duplicate" (now that I understand) I suppose.
