692125 - apply(), bind() and call() methods are undefined for console.log in content script

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[:xKhorasan]

Attachment: test add-on code for lib/main.js

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1
Add-on SDK: 1.2b3

Unlike Add-on script, apply(), bind() and call() methods are undefined for console.log in content script.
It makes hard to write utility function like

function debug() {
    if (typeof DEBUG !== 'undefined' && DEBUG) {
        console.log.apply(console, arguments)
    }
}

or

var log = console.log.bind(console);

in content script.

This problem also happened in Windows Vista (User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1).


Reproducible: Always


Steps to reproduce:

1. Download Add-on SDK 1.2b3 and unpack it.
   (curl -O https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/addon-sdk-1.2b3.zip && unzip addon-sdk-1.2b3.zip)
2. Move to addon-sdk-1.2b3 directory, then run 'source bin/activate' (or 'bin\activate' on Windows).
   (cd addon-sdk-1.2b3 && source bin/activate)
3. Download test Add-on code from https://bitbucket.org/xKairouan/console_log_test.
   (hg clone https://bitbucket.org/xKairouan/console_log_test)
4. Move to console_log_test directory, then run 'cfx run'.
   (cd console_log_test && cfx run)
5. Input 'www.mozilla.org' in the address bar and press Enter.
6. Wait until page loaded completely.
7. Press Alt + F4 to close Firefox.

Irakli, can you confirm that this happens?

If this gets confirmed, priority is P2.

Wes, it should have been fixed by bug 718666.

Comment 3

[Alexandre Poirot [:ochameau]]

xKhorasan, Thanks for your report! I tried your example and it output this on current SDK master:
  info: console.log in content script
  info: console.log.apply in content script
  info: console.log.bind in content script
  info: console.log.call in content script

Please reopen the bug if I miss something, but it looks like it is now fixed.
