1410048 - "Copy object" does not work for long strings

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1424721

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P3)

Description

[Nicolas Chevobbe [:nchevobbe]]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the console
2. Evaluate `"foo ".repeat(10000)`
3. This will create a longString (string with more than 10,000 chars), which has an actor associated to retrieve the whole string
4. Right-click on the result, and choose "Copy object"


Expected results:
The whole string is copied into the clipboard

Actual results:
Nothing is copied in the clipboard, and a warning message is displayed in browser console: 
```
"onPacket threw an exception: Error: Server did not specify an actor, dropping packet: {"error":"unknownError","message":"error occurred while processing 'evaluateJSAsync: TypeError: objActor.obj is undefined\nStack: evalWithDebugger@resource://devtools/shared/base-loader.js -> resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole.js:1323:13\nonEvaluateJS@resource://devtools/shared/base-loader.js -> resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole.js:917:20\nonEvaluateJSAsync@resource://devtools/shared/base-loader.js -> resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole.js:888:20\nonPacket@resource://devtools/shared/base-loader.js -> resource://devtools/server/main.js:1791:15\nreceiveMessage@resource://devtools/shared/base-loader.js -> resource://devtools/shared/transport/transport.js:761:7\nLine: 1323, column: 13"}

"Store as global variable" does not work either

---

This might be because we don't add the actor reference as an attribute in Reps. To be confirmed

Marking 57 as affected since "store as global variable" does not work there (but copy object feature was introduced in 58)

Looks like it was fixed in Bug 1424721
