326180 - When a bookmarklet or JS Console command causes an error, "source file" link is a bogus view-source:javascript: URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 318245

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Error Console, defect)

Description

[Jennifer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060206 Firefox/1.6a1

Evaluating an invalid JavaScript command in the console, such as "Hello" prints "Source File: javascript:hello" to the output window.  Clicking on the "javascript:hello" link opens an empty text editor and the following prints to the JavaScript console output window:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception..."Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)[nsIWebNavigation.loadURI]" nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" location: "JS frame::chrome://global/content/viewSource.js:: viewSource:: line145" data: no] 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type “Hello” into the JavaScript Console input field and click “Evaluate”.  An error message should be printed to the output window.
2. Click on the Source File link ("javascript:hello") in the output window

Actual Results:  
An empty text editor opens and the following is printed to the JavaScript console output window:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception..."Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)[nsIWebNavigation.loadURI]" nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" location: "JS frame::chrome://global/content/viewSource.js:: viewSource:: line145" data: no] 

Expected Results:  
The evaluation window should indicate that an error occurred, and should tell the user that “Hello” is not a valid JavaScript command, but there should not be a link to an empty text editor in the output window.
