1652029 - DevTools don't show, instead a second TB window appears

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Richard Marti (:Paenglab)]

When I try to open the DevTools through (CTRL+SHIFT+I) or through the menu, I get a second TB window that tries to connect to the mail server.

I get this issue when I build with https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/671c2fd7e5a9410127388ab8984477eae9b499ff. Building on the parent changeset doesn't show the issue.

I can confirm. Same here.

Comment 2

[Alessandro Castellani [:aleca]]

Confirmed as well.
Even using the flag -devtools launches 2 TB instances.

The command-line flag --chrome isn't working any more, and it started somewhere here: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=40792c588f9b27cd0012543b2d0a76aa07e932ef&tochange=01da3a7fa07cbfe1f4baeceab23d2fd8242a05b9

(I say that not because it's another similar problem, it is the problem.)

When running ./dist/bin/thunderbird --devtools, saw this error TypeError: can't access property "URIChainHasFlags", Services.netUtils is undefinedWarning: unrecognized command line flag -foreground

Then in https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D81419, found that Services.netUtils is now Services.io
