Bug 25008 – syntax error in JavaScript passed to eval didn't show the line of the eval call

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

[Greg Hulands]

In an ajax based WebObjects app using the wonder ajax framework, I had an update div that had the id of "ws-toolbar". The framework uses eval() to do some magic but the div id contains a dash in the name such that when it eval'ed it, it turned it into a minus.

register: function(id, options) {
    if (!options) {
        options = {};
    }
    eval(id + "Update = function() { AjaxUpdateContainer.update(id, options) }");
}

div id="ws-toolbar"

generated script was 

ws-toolbarUpdate = function() { AjaxUpdateContainer.update(id, options) }

The web inspector just showed "SyntaxError: Parse error" where as Firebug showed the offending eval() line above which let me deduce it was the div id that was the cause of the problems.

Closing as invalid, as this bug pertains to the old inspector UI and/or its tests.
Please file a new bug (https://www.webkit.org/new-inspector-bug) if the bug/feature/issue is still relevant to WebKit trunk.
