1273205 - Calls to window.location.replace sometimes throw an error in symcBFPerformOnDOMChangedHandler

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[dthompson91]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.47 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Periodically our single page webapp breaks due to an uncaught error when trying to change the URL using window.location.replace, we have yet to reproduce it locally after much effort. 


Actual results:

Call to window.location.replace throws this error:
Error: Error calling method on NPObject!
symcBFPerformOnDOMChangedHandler@<inline>:1:1044
setHash@https://<ourURL>/bundle.js?e33c9e590872babe9364:3:11339

Where setHash is a function with this definition:

function setHash(value) {
  window.location.replace(
    window.location.pathname + window.location.search + '#' + value
  );
}

This does not trigger all the time, but we have logged a few cases of it in production, and each case has been on OSX and Firefox 46.0



Expected results:

The window hash should have changed without throwing an error.

Disregard, further research shows it was related to a user's browser extension.
