Recently when i did some adventofcode, i came across a bug:
The bug happens in firefox except for if you run the code as multiple chunks, but doesnt happen in chrome.
When i run this code in the firefox console, in a tab with url https://www.google.com/robots.txt :
// Fetch input
var input = await fetch("https://www.google.com/robots.txt").then(r => r.text());
var lines = input.split("\n");
// Iterate
while(lines.length > 0) console.log(lines.shift());
It prints nothing, but when i run the code as two pieces (separated by // Iterate) it works. Note that you can change the fetch url and url of the tab, i chose robots.txt and made them the same to avoid CORS errors.
Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix this?
Edit: The code works if you wrap the code in an async function and call it, but it should work regardless.
