Now loops with popup functions (alert, prompt, confirm) like this:
for (var i = 0; i < 6; i++){alert(i);}
Will work.
It also works with loops without curly braces, nested loops, and popups called through the window object (e.g. window.alert()).

wow! Thanks for the fix @PythonCow. I'll check it out.

if (node.range[0]>=loop.start && node.range[0]<=loop.end){
patches.push({
pos: node.range[1],
str: '\n%d = Date.now();\n'.replace('%d', loop.varName)

@PythonCow this is basically resetting the loop timer after the alert statement. This means if there is a real infinite loop that has alert statements in it, it would run forever because of this reset. Right?

Possible solution:

  • Just before alert statement we record time in a variable.
  • After alert, we subtract the time taken by alert from the loop timer variable _wmloopvar.
    That way time taken by alert statement won't ever be counted in the loop's timer.

@PythonCow I had the comment written in 2017, but damn this Github UI, they were in "pending" state till today. Sorry!
