DevTools Work Week
Portland, OR, Mozilla Office
- Honza, hacking on support for dynamic scripts (DOM event handlers and scripts created via <script> tags still missing) + pretty print analyses
DevTools, focus:
- Performance tools
- Timeline: measuring responsiveness (layout, parsing, reflow)
- Memory Analyses: allocations happening in JS, object categories, snaphost of the JS heap, etc.
- Developer Tools SDK
- Authoring
- CSS save (also HTML save)
- File mapping (concept of a project)
- Mobile Tools (For Firefox OS)
Firebug Focus:
- e10s
- Specific features (complementing DevTools)
- Extending DevTools
- Faster release cycle (6 weeks, we want to get out features quickly!)
- Specific Features
- Support for JS libraries (jQuery, Backbone, AngularJS/UI, ...)
- Mobile libraries (PhoneGap, ...)
- Integration with the server side (e.g. debugging NodeJS, make this awesome debugging experience).
- Enhanced features (PixelPerfect, YSlow, ...)
- Saving CSS (HTML, etc.), derive concept of a project from DevTools
- We can drop features by converting them into extensions.
Miscellaneous:
- It's (almost) possible to send binary over RDP
- It's (almost) possible to inject actors into the backend dynamically
- Cool CM autocompletion plugin (created by Brandon Benvie), Ctrl+Space, Ctrl+I
- See screenshots below
- Worker Debugger API almost available
Next Firebug Steps:
- All tests green (FBTest API solid)
- Firebug 2.0 out
- e10s analyses
Autocomplete CM Plugin
