1049038 - 'Blame' link to hg.mozilla.org does not preserve the chosen line number

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1007293

(Webtools Graveyard :: DXR, defect)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

1) Go to http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/build/mobile/remoteautomation.py
2) Click a line number, eg 50
3) Scroll up and use the "Blame" link top right.
4) Observe the resultant page URL
5) Repeat #1 except using MXR, eg http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/build/mobile/remoteautomation.py

Expected:
hg.mozilla.org URL with line number specified at the end, eg:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/1aab16f74817/build/mobile/remoteautomation.py#l50

Actual:
No line number:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/71497ed2e0db/build/mobile/remoteautomation.py

It would be great if this also worked for when navigating to a DXR URL directly, without the click on the line number - eg:
http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/build/mobile/remoteautomation.py#50
(this latter case doesn't currently work for MXR either)

http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/build/mobile/remoteautomation.py#50 actually does work, at least for me.

But otherwise, this is a duplicate of bug 1007293 (which we absolutely should fix).

I think the "It would be great if this also worked" part of comment 0 might not have been clear enough - it's a dupe of bug 1007293 too. Thank you :-)
