1420381 - Clicking the script location on a console message do not open the debugger

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P3)

Description

[udon]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
Build ID: 20171120142222

Steps to reproduce:

Any script error that is logged to the console.


Actual results:

The auto-linking/linkification to the right of the reported error shows the offending script name, line number and character as normal. In Firefox Developer Edition (58.0b5 (64-bit)) clicking on the line number does not take you to the offending line in Debugger. Repeating the process in Firefox Quantum (57.0 (64-bit)), same page/script error, click on the line number takes you to the offending line of script in Debugger.


Expected results:

Clicking on the line number should take you to the line of the script in Debugger.

A plain HTML page with a deliberate JS error:

Thanks udon ! 

An initial investigation reveals that sources with SyntaxError are not fetched by the debugger. 
Then, in the console, we try to open the debugger, but can't find the file, so we default to show the "view source" page.

I filed https://github.com/devtools-html/debugger.html/issues/4798 to fix this in the debugger.

This looks like this is fixed in Firefox Nightly :)
