1493964 - HTML parsing errors in the console

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Console, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Victor Porof [:vporof][:vp]]

It’d be useful to have some way of surfacing HTML parsing errors in the console.

On the devtools side, this should be initially preffed off by default and probably without any filtering magic. Simple messages build around the localization key and an associated line number, as reported by the parser, should suffice.

The implementation on the HTML parser side is described in bug 1490606.

I think we need to wait till bug 1490606 is fixed.
(we need the platform support first)

Is there any plan/estimate when the platform should be ready?

I did look at bug 1490606. I can start with that if that is okay

It's question for Victor. Also, I am not sure if that report is good as first-good-bug.

Hey birdperson078! 

For the backend, if you're feeling adventurous and know c++, it'd be cool to start with bug 1490606, especially since there's detailed explanations there about how to implement. Otherwise, there's no ETA on that yet.

I'm completely out of touch with the devtools frontend, so Nicholas is a much better person to consult with regards to this side of the implementation.

Hey folks, this bug is dependent on bug 1490606, which needs to be fixed in order to have something displayed in the console. I wouldn't consider that one a good first bug however, but if you're feeling adventurous go check it out!
