Prerequisites

  • I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
  • This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
  • This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
  • I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
  • The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
  • I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

  • uBO is the only extension.
  • uBO uses default lists and settings.
  • using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

In the JSONPath tool, if the JSON has data with a null value, the expression $..*[[email protected]] or v2:$..*[[email protected]] will not update the result list. Instead, it will continue showing the result for the previously entered expression.

A specific URL where the issue occurs.

http://localhost:8000/tools/jsonpath-tool.html

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run and load the JSONPath tool.
  2. Enter the following JSON.
{
  "body": {
    "test": null
  }
}
  1. For the expression, enter $..[[email protected]], then enter $..*[[email protected]].
  2. For the expression, enter $..**[[email protected]], then enter $..*[[email protected]].

Expected behavior

The same result should always be shown when entering $..*[[email protected]].
