1152062 - Stepping through js in sidebar fails

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1149910

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect)

Description

[Shane Caraveo (:mixedpuppy)]

STR:

- activate provider from https://socialapi-demo.paas.allizom.org/ (sidebar will appear)
- enter debugger in browser toolbox
- select iframe for sidebar
- find sidebar files in file list (bug 1152057)
- set a breakpoint somewhere in sidebar.js, an easy one is the onload function
- in sidebar, click signin (it's fake)
- in sidebar, click "reload sidebar" button
- debugger breaks on breakpoint
- try to step or run

Expected
- step or run works

Actual
- step or run does not work
- firefox window is frozen
- errors in console

This is the same as bug 1149910 that I'm currently working on. Step-in gives the "too much recursion" error, while step-over just gets you into promise land.
