Walter Rumsby commented on CB-604:
----------------------------------
Looking into this, it seems like the problem is caused by the private [getTrace
function|https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-weinre/blob/master/weinre.web/modules/weinre/common/StackTrace.coffee#L42]
defined in the {{StackTrace}} module.
My guess is that when Weinre instruments the code it instruments strict mode
code where accessing {{caller}} is illegal. Walking the call stack (to get the
stack trace) and strict mode are [at odds with each
other|https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Functions_and_function_scope/Strict_mode#.22Securing.22_JavaScript],
so I'm not really sure how you could provide a strict mode compliant
implementation without there being an endorsed way of accessing the call stack.
Maybe a browser extension could provide a solution here (I'm speculating, I
have no idea if that's possible)?
The current situation isn't great. I want to write my JavaScript using strict
mode, it helps identify errors and potential problems every day saving me a
great deal of time. I also want to use Weinre for those times I need to debug
on a tablet, etc.
Would providing a distribution of Weinre that doesn't provide a Stack Trace be
feasible? e.g. Folks who use strict mode would load
{{target-script-no-stacktrace-min.js}} rather than {{target-script-min.js}}.
