STR:
Select the body element on a bug, like: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1166959
Right click -> Add Rule

Expected:

A new rule is created with the class name

Actual:

There is an error:

DOMException [SyntaxError: "An invalid or illegal string was specified"
code: 12
nsresult: 0x8053000c
location: resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/devtools/server/actors/styles.js:904] protocol.js:907


It looks like maybe it's caused by some whitespace in the class name:

I think we have try/catches around almost all instances of el.querySelector, el.matches, sheet.insertRule, ... in the actor. Basically, anywhere we evaluate a selector that comes from user input.
It looks like we don't have one in addNewRule. It might be all it takes to fix this issue.
But of course, we don't really have a good way to report problems to the user.

We originally thought escaping all the selectors will avoid all syntax error. We can add in a try catch and default to using the node tag as the selector.
I didn't check the code closely enough, the problems seems to come from this part of the AddNewRule method:

selector = "." + rawNode.className.split(" ").map(c => CSS.escape(c)).join(".");

This assumes that className contains a list of classes separated by exactly 1 space.
We should replace this with:

selector = "." + [...rawNode.classList].map(c => CSS.escape(c)).join(".");

(but we should check if classList works in XUL and SVG documents first too).

r=me if try is green *and* if this works with SVG nodes and in XUL documents (I have a vague memory of classList being weird in SVG, or maybe it was the className property, or class attribute, I can't remember).

I did test classList with SVG and XUL and it works!
