Comment 2 Devin Rousso 2018-12-05 19:12:07 PST
I'm now also seeing another error similar to this (likely from r238859 <https://webkit.org/b/192119>):

You might also have to change tabs in inspector^2, close, and reopen it (e.g. remove any DOM elements for any `WI.TreeElement`).

I'm guessing that this situation occurs when the `WI.TreeElement` gets selected before it has a chance to actually add itself to the DOM (e.g. it's been added to the `WI.TreeOutline` model object hierarchy with relationships to other `WI.TreeElement`s, but that hasn't been carried over into the DOM yet).
Comment 4 Matt Baker 2018-12-14 14:40:12 PST
Okay, I can reliably reproduce this without opening Inspector²:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto daringfireball.net
2. Open Inspector > Debugger tab
3. Add breakpoint on FancyZoon.js:68
4. Select a different tab 
5. Close and reopen Inspector
6. Reload page
  => Debugger tab shown, content is blank, sidebar won't expand
7. Switch to a different tab and back
  => Error

Comment 5 Matt Baker 2018-12-14 15:45:09 PST
Analysis of the above crash trace:

TypeError:​ null is not an object (evaluating 'treeElement.listItemElement.classList')​ (at TreeOutline.js:​816:​44)​
D)  selectionControllerSelectionDidChange @ TreeOutline.js:​816:​44
    _updateSelectedItems @ SelectionController.js:​443:​61
    selectItem @ SelectionController.js:​106:​34
    selectedTreeElement @ TreeOutline.js:​114:​49
    selectTreeElementInternal @ TreeOutline.js:​889:​13
C)  select @ TreeElement.js:​518:​46
B)  refresh @ ThreadTreeElement.js:​67:​46
A)  onattach @ ThreadTreeElement.js:​113:​21
    _attach @ TreeElement.js:​251:​30
    appendChild @ TreeOutline.js:​249:​26
    _addTarget @ DebuggerSidebarPanel.js:​741:​47
    DebuggerSidebarPanel @ DebuggerSidebarPanel.js:​215:​28
    ...

A) ThreadTreeElement is now attached (its `listItemElement` property is valid).
B) ThreadTreeElement creates and appends child CallFrameTreeElements. Since the ThreadTreeElement hasn't been expanded, its `_childrenListNode` is null and the children won't be attached.
C) The CallFrameTreeElement for the active call frame is selected by its parent.
D) TreeOutline accesses the  `listItemElement` property of the selected TreeElement, which is invalid (see B), leading to the exception.

Another crash with an identical cause can occur accessing `this._previousSelectedTreeElement.listItemElement`. I think the fix is simply to check that `listItemElement` exists before using it. The "selected" class will be added by TreeElement when it is eventually attached.

Perhaps this is a good opportunity to move `addClassName` and `removeClassName` from `WI.GeneralTreeElement` to `WI.TreeElement`.  It would effectively solve this problem.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/TreeOutline.js:805
> +            if (treeElement && treeElement.listItemElement) {

This would prevent `deselect` from being called if the element hasn't been created yet.  I think we only want to avoid adding a class to the element, not any other functionality.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Views/TreeOutline.js:815
> +            if (treeElement && treeElement.listItemElement) {

Ditto (>805).
