859069 - The settings console in Reddit Enhancement Suite won't open

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[ravicious]

Attachment: The development version of RES that used to work on Nightly

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:23.0) Gecko/20130406 Firefox/23.0
Build ID: 20130406030922

Steps to reproduce:

Recent Nighlty update broke something, because the settings console doesn't work and I haven't upgraded RES.

I've attached the development version of RES that used to work on Nightly.

So, I've clicked on the gear icon on whichever page on reddit.


Actual results:

Nothing. Console output:

[12:30:30.478] TypeError: Value does not implement interface WindowProxy. @ resource://gre/modules/XPIProvider.jsm -> jar:file:///home/rav/.mozilla/firefox/jsj09zdl.default/extensions/[e-mail]!/bootstrap.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/sdk/loader/sandbox.js -> resource://jid1-xufzosoflzsoxg-at-jetpack/reddit_res/data/reddit_enhancement_suite.user.js:943


Expected results:

The settings console should have opened.

The original source of RES is here: https://github.com/honestbleeps/Reddit-Enhancement-Suite/  -- not the repo you built it from.  I have no idea what might be different between the two, but according to your post on reddit, you built it from someone else's fork.  It may or may not be the same issue.

RES shouldn't really be expected to work on Nightly builds.  It has for ages because nothing in nightly happened to break it, but Nightly stuff breaks all the time and that's why it's Nightly instead of stable.

I wish Mozilla would do a better job of explaining that the Aurora channel is unstable and should be expected to have issues/quirks, because clearly based on all of the RAGE I'm getting from people in my inbox, this isn't understood by the people (way more people than I would've expected) downloading it.

This is not a bug in Firefox.  I'd say please contact the add-on author, but it sounds like it's Steve here.
