1521316 - Screenshot command line does not support autocomplete suggestions for options anymore

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1482811

(DevTools :: Console, defect)

Description

[sd]

Attachment: firefox-01.png - screenshot command options autocomplete in Firefox 43

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

In old Firefox 43, there was a "Developer Toolbar" (Shift+F2) (I guess this is what people call GCLI?), where one could type a screenshot command to get a screenshot of the page. Here, if you typed screenshot -- you would have gotten autocomplete suggestions, see screenshot https://imgur.com/YwD7U9k

Now, in Firefox 64, there is no more "Developer Toolbar", and apparently this functionality has been moved to Developer Tools/Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K), as noted in https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2018/08/23/screenshots-from-the-console/ - where you have to prepend a colon to have the screenshot command work, as in :screenshot.

The problem is, when I type :screenshot -- in Firefox 60 Developer Tools/Web Console now, absolutely no suggestions appear, not even when pressing TAB or anything.

Actual results:

When I type :screenshot -- in Firefox 60 Developer Tools/Web Console now, absolutely no suggestions appear, not even when pressing TAB or anything.

Expected results:

when I type :screenshot -- in Firefox 60 Developer Tools/Web Console now, there should be autocomplete suggestions listed for all the options the :screenshot command, just as it was back in Firefox 43.
