1477860 - Add a test to ensure copy/pasted error stacktrace is readable

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P1)

Description

[Dana Keeler (she/her) (use needinfo) [:keeler] (on leave)]

STR: encounter a web page with an error that prints a stack trace to the console, try to copy/paste it into a plain text area. All the line breaks seem to disappear, making it hard to read.

Hello keeler, thanks for filing this issue.

I pushed a PR to have better clipboard stack in https://github.com/devtools-html/debugger.html/pull/6687 (we use a set of functions to print objects in devtools, and they are located in the debugger repo).
It will then be in mozilla-central when the debugger does a new release.

I am going to repurpose this bug to add a mochitest so we don't regress this.

A fix was made in Reps (see https://github.com/devtools-html/debugger.html/pull/6687)
in order to make error objects much more usable when copy/pasted.
Since node isn't the best to test copy/pasting behavior, we add a
test case in an existing mochitest for this.
