[Ext] Console² 0.9a2 Pre-Release

[Philip Chee]

http://downloads.mozdev.org/console2/console2-0.9dev.xpi

This is a version for testing. Please kick the tires and let me know if something is broken.

Changes since v0.8:

• [new] Message FIFO limit is now controlled by a hidden preference "extensions.console2.max-errors" currently 1000. (Patch by Kris Maglione).
• [new] Enable blocklist domains from resource:// URLs
  [new] Enable filter for "resource://" URLs
  [fix] Alias resource:/// to resource://app/ to allow these resource urls to be filtered and blocklisted.
  (Patches by titoBouzout).
• [fix] Use white-space: pre-wrap for the console message descriptions to allow newlines and formatted messages (Patch by titoBouzout).
• [new] Add support for Komodo alphas appversion >= 6.9 (Patch by titoBouzout).
• [fix] css problems with textonly toolbarbuttons in icon mode toolbars.
• [new] Show timestamps if available from nsIScriptError/nsIScriptError2.

I'm not sure whether to place the timestamp on the left or right. Also for non en-US locales, do the format of the timestamps look OK? Currently I'm using the following code:

Code: Select all

var ts = new Date(aMessage.timeStamp);
var tss = ts.toTimeString();
tss = ts.toDateString() + " " + tss.substr(0, tss.indexOf(" "));
row.setAttribute("timestamp", tss);

I just installed this pre-release and when I have "Show Timestamps" selected, each line in the error console shows "INVALID DATE INVALID" on the right hand side.

I am running Firefox 8.0 and Thunderbird 8.0 on a Toshiba NB200 notebook under Fedora 16 with XFCE Desktop

I'll look into this. I wonder if it works in Firefox 9.0b or 10a2. What Firefox locale are you using?

What does the following evaluate to?

Code: Select all

("nsIScriptError2" in Components.interfaces)

general.useragent.locale = en-US

("nsIScriptError2" in Components.interfaces) = true

userAgent/Build ID = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 - Build ID: 20111108090109

Thanks

Thanks!

Sigh. Firefox 8 has nsIScriptError2 but doesn't have timeStamp. Firefox 9 does.

I've updated the XPI. Please download again. The time timestamps should not be visible at all in Firefox < 9.

Thanks, Phil! I have Fx 9b4 and it all seems to be working fine so far.

[johnjinsf]

Thanks Phil

That cleared up the date message.

And Firefox 11 (or maybe Firefox 10 - I've lost count) will have timeStamp in nsIScriptError as well as nsIScriptError2. Yay for unfrozen interfaces and rapid release

If you copy/paste a message into a (dumb) text document (like Notepad), there is no spacing between the Date/Time & the start of the message.

Though it looks OK if pasted here.

So guessing it has to do with the EOL character being used?

Ditto if you copy/paste multiple messages, they all end up as a single stream with no intervening "----------".

Code: Select all

Yes, that's it, $0A$.

This will be in Firefox 11 actually.

Summary: Firefox uses "\n" (LF) on all platforms. DOS and Windows use "\r\n" (CRLF). An added complication is that MSIE tries to guess what you want and sometimes guesses wrong so sometimes you get back LF and sometimes CRLF.
