Bug 187724 – JSON.stringify should emit non own properties if second array argument includes

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[zac spitzer]

The following test case produces an empty object in Webkit

https://jsbin.com/qiluqen/edit?js,console

Firefox, Edge and Chrome all output an object with three properties

function createSyntaxException() {
    try {
        // trigger a DOMException
        document.querySelectorAll("div:foo");
    } catch(e) {
        // this produces an empty object in webkit
        var err = JSON.parse(
          JSON.stringify(e, ['code','name','message'] )
        );      
        console.log(err);
        console.log(JSON.stringify(err));        
        var err2 = {
          code: e.code,
          name: e.name,
          message: e.message
        };
        console.log(err2);
    }
}
throw createSyntaxException();

It seems that WebKit behavior is correct, but I would like to hear opinions from binding folks. My understanding is the following.

According to DOMException's IDL, defined in WebIDL.

https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#idl-DOMException

interface DOMException { // but see below note about ECMAScript binding
  readonly attribute DOMString name;
  readonly attribute DOMString message;
  readonly attribute unsigned short code;

  const unsigned short INDEX_SIZE_ERR = 1;
...

This definition says that "name", "message", and "code" are readonly attributes. So they should be defined as getters in DOMException.prototype.

From the point of view of JSC, this makes `JSON.stringify(error)` empty since "name", "message", and "code" are not own properties.

[zac spitzer]

but I'm passing in an array of ['code','name','message'] as a replacer to stringify which should pluck those values out?

[Yusuke Suzuki]

Ah, I missed the point. The second argument array forces us to emit properties even if it is not an own property.
