I am trying to over ride one the notification popups of browser using the following code:
var branch = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch);
But in Mozilla Firefox, I get the error Component.classes is undefined.
And in Chrome Browser, I get the error Component is undefined.
Well I have realised I need to include something in my website. But I am unable to find exactly what is required.
Please anybody help. I googled about it a lot, but I have never used this thing before(the Classes) and I am unable to search what will help me out. i dont even have any idea that what will be the tags for this thing. I have never used Component or its classes
My website is in ZF2.
Components Object is non-standard feature. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Components_object.
It also says
Warning: This object is only intended for code running with chrome
privileges. Exposing the object to regular web code was a mistake.

I need a little help.
I am trying to pass data from a Cookie inside of GTM to a custom attribute inside of Drift.
I've tried following this documentation, but can't seem to get it to work:
https://devdocs.drift.com/docs/contact-properties
This is the code that I have tried using inside of Google Tag Manager:
drift.on('ready', function() {
drift.api.setUserAttributes({
gclid: '{{cookie - gclid}}'
})
})
I am not very familiar with coding, so I am sure there is some error on my end. Any help would be appreciated.
It's quite challenging to help without knowing what the errors are, but I'll do my best.
The issue is most likely related to either the Drift integration failing to initialize or an error related to accessing the cookie. The best way to solve your issue would be to isolate where the problem lies.
Focussing on Drift, are you sure that Drift has been initialized correctly?
According to the documentation, a custom Drift attribute will be visible in the Custom attributes tab in your contact settings.
You can test this by running the following code snippet in the browser console for the website in question and then checking the Custom attributes tab to check that the test attribute has been created.
drift.on('ready', function() {drift.api.setUserAttributes({test: 'tester',})})
Note that Drift does not initialize when running a website locally so make sure that you're testing with a site that's deployed to a server.
If the above works then we know that Drift is working as expected and the issue relates to how you're accessing the cookie so you'll want to focus on that.
In either case, if you could share your error, it would be very helpful.
I am using the latest version of Meteor js. I am a newbie and couldn't find the solution. I have surfed for this problem a lot.
Before going to the problem, please have look at the directory structure first.
My directory structure of the project is like this :
\client
\main.html
\main.css
\main.js
\imports
\lib
\todos
\todos.js
\server
\main.js
I have created a Mongo Object in todos.js.
export const Todos = new Mongo.Collections('todos');
This is working fine.
Now in client\main.js, I am importing this object,
import { Todos } from '\imports\lib\todos\todos.js';
Note: I tried relative and absolute both type of addressing.
I put a debugger after that and checked and the variable is there. I can access that variable on the console. But as soon as I pass the statement and all the code is rendered on the browser(google chrome), I am not able to use Todos. It is giving me a ReferenceError. The error is
Todos is not defined.
I know there is no problem till the browser is loading because I checked that. I have surfed a lot. Please help me.
Thank you in advance.
Edit 1: I am using windows 7 if that is necessary.
As the comments above said, variables declared or imported in a file/module don't end up on the developers console.
What you can do to get stuff on the console is import it to the console using require
> require('/imports/lib/todos/todos.js')
Any valid absolute path or package will work here
Note: the path separators are always *nix style /
I had a similar problem while trying to evaluate moment from Moment.js in Chrome console. It was imported by the script being debugged/under breakpoints but does not work in console. import or require Moment.js in console gave me errors and did not work for me.
I ended up switching to Firefox Developer Edition, where I can put breakpoints and then evaluate moment in its console out of the box without any problems.
This may be a basic problem but its getting on my nerves now. I was exploring Microsoft Edge. While debugging, I am pasting a variable in console tab to explore its value and below is the error ('SecurityError') that I see.
I could see the value in watch and all that's not I am looking for. I want to go to console tab to run some functions on the object tp explore more on that part.
Its just annoying. I am unable to get through it. Could anyone help here?
Thanks.
browser.tabs can only be accessed in extension context, such as background page. However, you're calling it in content scripts (I know it from another question), which obviously will get nothing.

After making a long list of modifications to my application in order to support IE8, including:
running all of the views in their compiled form through W3C validator, setting up xdomain.js proxy to support CORS API calls, making some general restructures, etc.
I was very disappointed to find out that IE8 still throws this weird error at me, while IE9 works perfectly fine.
Making changes to the Angular-seo package to prevent it from running when the client is an IE browser.
Any ideas on what can it be?.
Make sure that all your tags are closed properly. I just spent hours trying to figure out what the problem was, until I noticed this in my code:
<span>some text<span>
I finally realized I didn't close the <span> tag properly. After that everything just worked.
Without the code you are running it is a bit difficult. However there is a command to use for debugging. First you need to identify which variable might not contain an object [i.e.
"object is null or undefined"].
For example, parent, then you can use
//next look to see if parent is something
if('undefined'==(typeof parent)) alert("variable empty:parent");
Once you find something that is empty that you are expecting to be an object then you can go trace back from there. Also use a browser debugged tool, to identify the line number of the error.
Often if using the child nodes, you may not have the right level or you need to access as an array i.e. you need something like.
parent.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].value
In IE you are also dealing with unsupported functions. So getElementById will work but some other similar ones do not. Again typeof can be useful.
//next ensure function supported
if( 'undefined'==(typeof document.getElementsByClassName) ){
alert("Not Supported"); // notice ^ no () required here
//...add code to handle differently when not supported
}
This may reveal if you can use a function
IE8 is so old and non-standards compliant it doesn't support childNodes[]. http://quirksmode.org/dom/core/#t70
I'd like to write a test case (using Selenium, but not the point of this question) to validate that my web application has no script errors\warnings or unhanded exceptions at certain points in time (like after initializing a major library).
This information can easily be seen in the debug consoles of most browsers. Is it possible to execute a javascript statement to get this information programatically?
It's okay if it's different for each browser, I can deal with that.
not so far read about your issue (as far as I understood your problem) here
The idea be the following:
I found, however, that I was often getting JavaScript errors when the page first loaded (because I was working on the JS and was introducing errors), so I was looking for a quick way to add an assert to my test to check whether any JS errors occurred. After some Googling I came to the conclusion that there is nothing built into Selenium to support this, but there are a number of hacks that can be used to accomplish it. I'm going to describe one of them here. Let me state again, for the record, that this is pretty hacky. I'd love to hear from others who may have better solutions.
I simply add a script to my page that will catch any JS errors by intercepting the window.onerror event:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onerror=function(msg){
$("body").attr("JSError",msg);
}
</script>
This will cause an attribute called JSError with a value corresponding to the JavaScript error message to be added to the body tag of my document if a JavaScript error occurs. Note that I'm using jQuery to do this, so this specific example won't work if jQuery fails to load. Then, in my Selenium test, I just use the command assertElementNotPresent with a target of //body[#JSError]. Now, if any JavaScript errors occur on the page my test will fail and I'll know I have to address them first. If, for some strange reason, I want to check for a particular JavaScript error, I could use the assertElementPresent command with a target of //body[#JSError='the error message'].
Hope this fresh idea helps you :)
try {
//code
} catch(exception) {
//send ajax request: exception.message, exception.stack, etc.
}
