Bug 130111 – Web Inspector: generated backend commands should reflect build system ENABLE settings

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Blaze Burg]

Currently the commands that we generate (InspectorFooBackendCommands.js) include all domains, without checking whether their feature flags are actually enabled in the build system. This is fine for C++ code where we can just wrap the relevant agents and type builders in ENABLE(FOO_FEATURE).

This blocks frontend feature detection for ENABLE(WEB_REPLAY), which is not enabled by default. We want to support it being either on or off, but right now the frontend will always think it's available, whether or not the ReplayAgent backend has been compiled or not.

[Timothy Hatcher]

Using the C preprocessor to filter things out of the JSON files and prevent generation sounds fine to me.

[Blaze Burg]

Joe suggested an even easier solution: conditionally add protocol spec files inside DerivedSources.make. I am going to wait to submit this until 130110 because it has no effect presently (the ruby script to update doesn't take into account ENABLE flags).

Same for IndexedDB as Databases?

Doesn't InspectorWeb.json need to have "EnabledInspectorDomains" as a dependency?

This breaks the generation of InspectorWeb.json on GTK at least. And it screws up the following builds on the GTK EWS, at least..

This line needs to be ${WEBCORE_DIR}/inspector/protocol/Database.json

nothing else is conditional on ENABLE_INDEXED_DATABASE so I didn't bother.

Yes.

Oops, I should have changed that one too. Thanks.

Ooops, forgot that we can't guard generating WEB_REPLAY on mac builds because Xcode doesn't like that. Will remove that before landing.
