Bug 19119 – Some objects in the global scope are not completed

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)

[Anthony Ricaud]

String, Date and maybe other objects are not completed in the Console. Image is completed though.

[Joseph Pecoraro]

This looks like a good place to start:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Global_Objects

The list of globals that don't appear in the console's autocompletion:
var globals = ["Array", "Boolean", "Date", "Error", "Function", "Math", "Number", "Object", "RegExp", "String"]

Note that the following "Error" globals did appear:
EvalError, RangeError, ReferenceError, SyntaxError, TypeError, URIError

[Keishi Hattori]

Basically all the {DontEnum} attributes don't come up as completion candidates.
Which is quite a lot ... 
You can grep for "DontEnum" to find a lot of them.

Examples:
String
Date
String.charAt
String.substring
Math.power
document.toString
...

There doesn't appear to be any tests for auto-completion. If anyone has ideas for going about writing one (that doesn't involve manual/simulated input events and works cross-platform :) ), I'm all ears.
