1423009 - popup in code panel fails to find variable

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171128222554

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to see value of variable in popup of code window in firefox debugger


Actual results:

If I look at the variable where it is defined I see the actual value, but if I look at the same variable where it is referenced it fails to find it and says that it is undefined. This has costed me a lot of grief and time because sometimes you get fooled and thinks that it is your own program that does something strange.


Expected results:

Everywhere that a variable is defined or referenced it should be possible to see the value of it in the popup. And if that is not possible the popup should not show anything. Now it says that the variable is undefined which is wrong


Is there anyone working on bugs on the debugger? Does anyone read my bug reports?

This appears to be for the old debugger -- the new debugger has no such issue. Thank you Mattias!
