Meeting Agenda: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/firebug

JSD2 Adoption

• JimB working on introductionType
  • Bug 982153 - Wrong stack frame lines for scripts dynamically injected using <script> element
• Honza: testing the patch and already making changes in Firebug code base.
• Honza: merge issue7097 into jsd2

• newFunction displayURL is asynchronous
  • ** Bug 981987 - displayURL is not available within Debugger.onNewScript hook for new Function scripts

• JSD1 will be removed in Firefox 31
• 7181: Error breakpoint can't be set
  • Firebug needs modifications
  • Honza: file a bug

• Honza: create an issue for:
  • JSD1 being deprecated (Firebug should disable the warning message for Firefox 29 and 30)
  • JSD1 going to be removed (Firebug 1.12 should display a message)

• Issue 7044: Source lines in console should be shown even when Script panel is disabled
  • Honza: fix this, use the source cache

• Issue 6830: Evaluated expressions should be listed in the Script panel
  • Simon put analyses into the issue report, so anyone can understand why we need UI-less support (e.g. why we need it for the backend).

Firebug 2.0 alpha 1

• Do Firebug 2.0 alpha 1 release in 3 weeks
• Honza: do blogging, new features, asking for feedback
• Honza: hint on AMO, use the 2.0 alpha
• Get 2.0 on AMO soon (as beta 1), to get feedback from beta testers
• Final Firebug 2.0 should be out in 2 months (latest is when Firefox 31 is released)

JSD2 FBTests

• Still the top priority
• Investigate random failures, find STRs
• Investigate failures related to Firebug
• Make FBTest API more solid

JSD2 FBTest Failures

• See complete info: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/firebug-fbtest
• There are failures related to different OSes
• Honza: install OSX and check tests

• console/api/trace.js
• console/api/exception.js
• console/api/error.js
• console/api/assert.js
• console/4658/issue4658.js
  • Honza: analyze and fix all (related to dynamic scripts + tracing)

• console/6546/issue6546.js
  • Sebastian: fix this
  • Might be just disabled

• console/breakOnError/breakOnError.js
  • Florent: fix this

• firebug/4040/issue4040.js
  • Sebastian: analyze
  • Might be just disabled

• commandLine/5873/issue5873.js
  • Needs instructions
  • Needs refactoring? (should be a lot simpler)
  • Let's all take a quick look and discuss the next time

• Clipboard testing
  • Honza: we might want to have a fake test clipboard for tests related to the clipboard avoiding conflicts with the OS clipboard
  • http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=7240 might turn into the fake test clipboard APIs
