863810 - Error when using `Components` as a variable name

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

I have a module which is does this:

    const { Cu, components: const { Cu, components: Components } = require('chrome') } = require('chrome');
    if (Components.isSuccessCode) {...}

and I get the following error when I try `cfx run`:

The following lines from file /.../getContents.js:
  17: if (!Components.isSuccessCode(aStatusCode)) {
use 'Components' to access chrome authority. To do so, you need to add a
line somewhat like the following:

  const {components} = require("chrome");

Then you can use any shortcuts to its properties that you import from the
'chrome' module ('Cc', 'Ci', 'Cm', 'Cr', and 'Cu' for the 'classes',
'interfaces', 'manager', 'results', and 'utils' properties, respectively. And
`components` for `Components` object itself).

This shouldn't happen.

Sorry we won't be releasing any new versions of cfx, jpm is the replacement https://www.npmjs.com/package/jpm
