1648109 - Report pretty error messages from JSContentActor APIs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Content Processes, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Nika Layzell [:nika] (ooo, ni? for response)]

Unlike JSWindowActor, the manager for JSContentActor is nsIDOMProcess{Parent,Child}, which is an xpcom interface, rather than a webidl one. The errors returned from this function are simple NS_ERROR_* errors, and don't have as nice custom error messages as WindowGlobal{Parent,Child} can.

It is possible to have a WebIDL-style ErrorResult& taking method defined on the implementations of these types, and call it from the nsIDOMProcess interface, which could allow for nicer error reporting.
