1390578 - Developer Console JSON expandos have inconsistent behavior

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect)

Description

[Alan Schmidt]

Attachment: Illustration of inconsistent button behaviors

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Build ID: 20170809110116

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open a web page that does JSON-REST request
2) Open the Developer Tools Console
3) Use the gray expando triangle to open the "GET" request
4) Select the "Response" tab
5) Click the gray expando triangle next to a JSON object


Actual results:

The entire request detail closes, as though you had pressed the top-level expando to close it.


Expected results:

The expando triangle should open, giving you more information about the object received.

You can open the second-level expando by clicking the word "object" instead of the expando. This action should also apply to the expando triangle.

For clarity: This is in the "Console" top-level tab.

The "Network" tab has a similar "Response" sub-tab, which functions as expected.

The entire HTTP request/response inspection in the Console has been refactored.
This bug is related to the UI and I think it's obsolete.

Feel free to re-open/re-create and ping me if you think the issue is still there.

Thanks for the help!

Sorry. I'm a little confused. Please bear with me.

I'm totally cool with waiting if it's in the pipeline already.

I did look at each of:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/56
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/57

...but I only saw one developer tools change. I know these pages aren't guaranteed to be complete before general availability.

But it's also true that saw a number of developer tools changes in 55 (they axed the "preview" item in the "Network" tab, for example). That makes me nervous that maybe you're thinking 55 should have fixed it?

But 55 didn't fix it.

Yeah, sorry for not being clear. You need Firefox 57 Nightly.
You can download it here:

And plus you'll get nice DevTools UI visual refresh!
