986863 - Can't debug app using App Manager, list of source files empty: onPacket threw an exception: Error: Server did not specify an actor, dropping packet

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 984929

(DevTools Graveyard :: WebIDE, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Nightly 20140322 (already in 20140314), Keon from 20140318 (later versions have broken settings)

I followed https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Using_the_App_Manager to debug certified apps from my Keon using the devtools, but the list of source files in the debugger remains empty.

From the browser console:

    onPacket threw an exception: Error: Server did not specify an actor, dropping packet: {"error":"unknownError","message":"error occurred while processing 'attach: Error: resource://gre/modules/devtools/DevToolsExtensions.jsm - EXPORTED_SYMBOLS is not an array.\nStack: ThreadActor.prototype.globalManager.findGlobals@resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/devtools/server/main.js -> resource://gre/modules/devtools/server/actors/script.js:640:1\nThreadActor.prototype.onAttach@resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/devtools/server/main.js -> resource://gre/modules/devtools/server/actors/script.js:754:5\nDSC_onPacket@resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/devtools/server/main.js:1103:9\nChildDebuggerTransport.prototype.receiveMessage@resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/devtools/server/main.js -> resource://gre/modules/devtools/server/transport.js:347:5\nLine: 640, column: 0"}

There has been a regression for a few days.
It should be fixed if you update yout phone with an image built after "2014-03-18 19:45:01 PDT".

Thanks for the report, do not hesitate to keep posting such breakage!
