1536492 - Developer's tools doesn't parse files with javascript syntax errors

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect, P3)

Description

[fareden]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create or open any web page including some JavaScript file or <script></script> tag
2. In the .js file or the <script> tag, write some code with syntax errors

Actual results:

The file will not be parsed by the developer's tools (in the debugger section).

It will send the error in the console, but if you click on the file:line:column link shown on the right, it will open a new tab showing the source code of the page.

Expected results:

The file will be shown in the debugger tab, and the link will locate you on the line:char to check the syntax error, usually underlined with red.
