Backbone Debugger Running on experimental Mozilla WebExtension devtools API
Raw
notes.md

changes on Mozilla WebExtension API

  • new DevTools API (devtools.inspectedWindow and devtools.panels.create)
  • changes to ExtensionContent.jsm (to be able to inject a script in the page on document_start during devtools.inspectedWindow.reload)

changes to Backbone Debugger

  • differences with behavior of standard APIs (e.g. order of the W3C postMessage parameters)

remaining issues

  • timing issues on the message exchange (the panel start to listen to backboneAgent:backboneDetected in a devtools.inspectedWindow.eval callback which can be received too late, when the message was already routed to the panel)
