899175 - [contacts] coercing ContactField[] to String results in null

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: DOM: Contacts, defect, P5)

Description

[Ben Kelly [:bkelly, not reviewing]]

As discussed on the lists here:

  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.b2g/Ew9qPHP2FBo

It appears that coercing a ContactField[] to a String will result in null.  For example:

  alert(contact.email);

Will display null, but this displays the address:

  alert(contact.email[0].value);

Since a value is present it would be nice if this coerced at least to [Object object], if not something more human readable.

Reuben indicates that this may be fixed as a side-effect of converting to WebIDL in bug 850430.
