Bug 117669 – Web Inspector: Copying array or object output does not contain values

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Antoine Quint]

Copying a result which was an array produces "< Array [size]" instead of the values, which is what I really wanted.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. js> ["one","two"]
2. Copy the resulting output row
3. Paste it somewhere
  => "< Array[2]" instead of the values "one" and "two"

Typo.

Typo.

I explicitly removed this logic before. I think the prefix is always useful for row selection and Commad-S. We now support text range selection if you don't want the prefix.

Heh, at least it's consistent.

Maybe we should only drop the prefix for a single command result or prompt. I remember Joe was annoyed by it.

That would be fine for copy, but Command-S should always include all prefixes.

Actually, upon further testing, the patch, as-is, does the right thing when saving the Console log via Cmd+S: all prefixes show up in the log. Could you re-review taking this into account?

This could go on the prototype.

Ditto.
