1113209 - Browser debugger doesn't stop on xbl breakpoints

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect)

Description

[:Gijs (he/him)]

This is messing with my ability to debug autocomplete things. :-(

This is also a regression, in that I'm 100% sure this worked a few weeks back.

STR:

1. Open a page that has a form autocomplete, e.g. the testcase from bug 467442.
2. Open the browser debugger
3. set a breakpoint in autocomplete.xml, for instance in onPopupClick (which calls handleEnter).
4. trigger the code (e.g. by clicking on an autocomplete entry)


ER:

break

AR:

no break

Maybe I'm just wrong - setting a breakpoint in popupshowing seems to work? :-\

Not sure under what circumstances it works or doesn't work, then...

Is this still broken for you?

Comment 3

[:Gijs (he/him)]

Yeah, let's close this for now and we can reopen if I still see this and can find better STR.

Comment 4

[:Gijs (he/him)]

STR:

0. clean profile.
1. enable browser debugger (chrome + remote debugging)
2. disable e10s (not sure this is necessary, but these are the 100% reproducible steps, :jryans just tried as well)
3. restart (because disable e10s)
4. open browser debugger
5. in tabbrowser.xml, find the "removeTab" implementation, set a breakpoint on the first line.
6. click the close button on a tab

ER:
hit breakpoint

AR:
don't hit breakpoint.

adding debugger; at the first line and rebuilding *does* work (ie the debugger; statement is hit)

I'm going to see what I can figure out on this bug.

Comment 6

[Eddy Bruel [:ejpbruel]]

I cannot reproduce this anymore. Gijs, can you please confirm whether it still fails for you?

Comment 7

[:Gijs (he/him)]

This seems to be working post bug 1163540 landing.
