1326519 - Cannot copy the URL of the source code while debugging

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Console, defect)

Description

[Tooru Fujisawa [:arai]]

checked on Nightly.

When some JavaScript error happens, WebConsole shows the filename/lineNumber of the file that the exception was thrown from.
when clicking the filename, Debugger is opened.
but there is no way to copy the URL of the source code, nor opening the source in new tab.

only the place I can see the URL is the tooltip of the filename/lineNumber in WebConsole, but of course it's not selectable.

I meant, opening the source in Firefox's new tab to see the URL, not Debugger's new tab.

I think this is a Console bug.

thanks :arai. We recently added a context menu option for copying the source URL in the debugger. We hope to also add a context menu item for viewing the source in a tab. Would that help?

where is the context menu? (maybe added to file tree?)
if the context menu is accessible intuitively, that would help :)

it would also be nice if filename in Web Console has a context menu for opening in new tab with the line selected.

I confirmed "Copy Source Url" menu item on tree and "Copy Link Address" menu item on tab, on Nightly 55.0a1 (2017-03-16) (64-bit)
