1130046 - Clicking on errors in the console creates a new window instead of jumping to the debugger tab

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect)

Description

[simonzack]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20150202183609

Steps to reproduce:

Raise an exception in javascript, source maps produced using 6to5.


Actual results:

Clicking on errors in the console creates a new window.


Expected results:

Clicking on the error in the console should jump to the debugger window, it worked sometimes but often doesn't, even when I close the tab and restart it again.

Btw, shouldn't there only be one way of viewing the source after clicking the line number?

I see what I did to jump to the debugger window, it was by unticking (not ticking) the show original sources tab. But I think that always jumping there is more consistent whether it's ticked or not.

I can confirm this. I do a lot of development with Meteor and CoffeScript, and clicking a link to a source file opens a new window.

(Then there's the fact that Meteor errors are logged in a horrible format, but that's a Meteor problem, in fact what I'm working on right now.)

Apropos, the functionality in question was added via #766001, in case someone wants to check the leading discussion.
