1624660 - When writing things in the console, debugger breaks when "breaks on exception" is on

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P2)

Description

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

STR:

1. Open the devtools.
2. Enable "break on exceptions" in the debugger.
3. Switch to the console.
4. Starts typing things, for example:
   /unde/.test("bla")

=> debugger breaks at the error that should be swallowed by the console instead.

Julien, I tried this with both checkboxes, caught and uncaught, but could not get debugger to pause. Which error do you see being paused on?

Comment 2

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

I get this:
ReferenceError: te is not defined
I believe this is when the console tries to evaluate /unde/.te while I type.

Still doesn't reproduce for me in Nightly, default and new profile.

Any idea if we miss cases where we let those errors sneak through and pause the debugger?

I'm not sure what to say, would you be able to make a screen recording?

ReferenceError: te is not defined doesn't make sense as an error for /unde/.te because that code doesn't error if you run it, it just returns undefined.

This is weird: I restarted Firefox (and updated it to latest version) and I can't reproduce anymore now.

Thanks for double-checking, Julien! Let's close for now and re-open if this comes up again.
