PDFJS.getDocument().then is not working, not file is loaded no callbacks are triggered, not errors in console.

To reproduce:

PDFJS.getDocument("/pdf.pdf").then(function() { alert("yo") })

Console returns

Promise {[[PromiseStatus]]: "pending", [[PromiseValue]]: undefined}

Alert never happens, no xhr calls are fired.

Version info: 1.0.233, build d39af0a

Works for me at http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/examples/learning/helloworld.html. Please provide more details as requested at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Also with STR:

1. Open http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/examples/learning/helloworld.html in the Firefox or Chrome.
2. Open JavaScript console and type PDFJS.getDocument("./helloworld.pdf").then(function() { alert("yo") })
3. notice 'yo'

Updating to latest PDF.js fixed the issue.

I had this same issue when trying to use PDFJS inside a Chrome extension content script. Chrome extensions content scripts disallow the use of document.currentScript which PDFJS relies upon in order to load the pdf.worker.js script. Instead I manually edited pdf.js to reference a chrome extension URL via the Chrome extension API call:

PDFJS.workerSrc = chrome.extension.getURL("libs/pdf.worker.js");

Where libs/pdf.worker.js was the relative location inside my Chrome extension.

Not sure if that helps but I found this issue page from googling for my issue.
