1499274 - DataCloneError when assigning runtime.sendMessage to variable

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Emmy]

When attempting to assign runtime.sendMessage to a variable like so:

    var sendMsg = (a) => { browser.runtime.sendMessage(a) }

The following is printed in the debug console:

> DataCloneError: The object could not be cloned.


Calling sendMsg(message) still works as expected.

Hi Emmy,

Can you please give me some detailed steps to reproduce? I need to confirm/triage it and then probably even verify the fix.

Thanks.

Found that my issue was that I attempted to send an unserializable object through runtime.sendMessage(). Marking as resolved since I can't reproduce the issue using a valid object.
