Can't vardump the results of Zotero.DB.queryAsync

[Emiliano Heyns]

When try to call Zotero.Utilities.varDump on a row from Zotero.DB.queryAsync, I get

zotero(1)(+0000009): TypeError: can't convert symbol to string

    get@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/db.js:671:14

    varDump@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/utilities.js:1419:17

Yeah, that doesn't work anymore, unfortunately. It's a limitation of
Mozilla's asynchronous SQLite APIs. It's possible it could be made to
show values by numerical index, but if I recall correctly, getting the
column names of the result set to display a proper object wasn't
possible anymore — they have to be explicitly requested, because we just
end up with a mozIStorageRow [1] now.

Can I detect in code I have one of these?

No, that's internal to the DB layer. queryAsync() returns a Proxy object. This just doesn't work in 5.0. It's a minor inconvenience for debugging, but given that you're passing the SQL statement to begin with and know what the fields are, it should be a pretty minor issue.
