💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round 🫶 this is Firefox::Marionette::Exception::StaleElement — a whole module that represents a 'stale element reference' exception thrown by Firefox. yes it's a real thing, no it's not your fault, it just means the element you were holding onto ghosted you 👻

it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, manual page 3pm, and its full name is literally Firefo...lement(3pm) because someone at the top decided truncation was a personality trait 💅

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 1.63 — that's the one, that's the era we're in 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the way you literally just do this:

use Firefox::Marionette();
use v5.10;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. nothing else needed, king 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does this module even do? it handles the implementation of a 'stale element reference' error thrown by Firefox. Firefox throws it, this module catches the energy, and it deals with it. it's giving "I'll handle the drama so you don't have to" 😌✨

🔥 SUBROUTINES/METHODS 🔥

💅 throw

throw accepts a Marionette response and the original find parameters, and then it calls Carp::croak. so it takes your stuff, and it croaks. iconic behaviour honestly, it's not even pretending to be nice about it 🐸

😭 DIAGNOSTICS 😭

None.

like literally none. nothing. silence. the calmest diagnostics section to ever exist 🫧

🌈 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT 🌈

Firefox::Marionette::Exception::StaleElement requires no configuration files or environment variables. zero setup, zero homework, zero "did you export that var" moments. we love a low-maintenance module 💖

⭐ DEPENDENCIES ⭐

None.

no dependencies, no baggage, no ex you have to keep running into at parties 🧚

💀 INCOMPATIBILITIES 💀

None reported.

(so far. if you find one, that's a you-and-the-bug-tracker conversation bestie 🙈)
