1205303 - Unexpected error during validation

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Add-on Validation, defect)

Description

[Chris Frost]

Attachment: The addon that broke validation

It looks like the validator can't handle ES2015 code. Add-on is attached and tested against Firefox 38 and up.

During the submission of a new add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/submit/2

I intend to list this add-on once validated.

I tried removing the ES2015 elements and it still fails with an unknown error and shows the same line numbers. I can't see what's wrong with this bit of code, pasting them here in case it's obvious to someone else.

if (account.isReady()) {
	rtm.get('rtm.auth.checkToken', {}, () => {
		events.do('token.init', 'index');
	});
}

This error is because I have unscoped code despite the entire file being wrapped in a function. I have fixed it by wrapping these few lines of bootstrapping code in a self executing function. Please now consider this bug that the validator should provide useful feedback in this situation instead of failing with an unexpected error. This will save add-on writers time in trying to figure out what the problem is.
