Bug 200564 – REGRESSION(r248391): Web Inspector: changing Layout Direction Debug setting no longer adds dir="ltr" to body element

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Nikita Vasilyev]

This has to be recent.

  WI.resolvedLayoutDirection = function()
  {
      let layoutDirection = WI.settings.debugLayoutDirection.value;
->    if (!WI.isDebugUIEnabled() || layoutDirection === WI.LayoutDirection.System)
          layoutDirection = InspectorFrontendHost.userInterfaceLayoutDirection();
      return layoutDirection;
  };


WI.isDebugUIEnabled returns undefined:

    WI.isDebugUIEnabled = function()
    {
        return WI.showDebugUISetting && WI.showDebugUISetting.value;
    };

WI.showDebugUISetting is undefined. This is where it's created:

    // This function is invoked after the inspector has loaded and has a backend target.
    WI.runBootstrapOperations = function() {
        WI.showDebugUISetting = new WI.Setting("show-debug-ui", false);

Broke in https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/248391/webkit#file1

This line broke it.

Main.js:
- 2707    if (layoutDirection === WI.LayoutDirection.System)
+ 2707    if (!WI.isDebugUIEnabled() || layoutDirection === WI.LayoutDirection.System)

This is something we don't want to expose outside of Web Inspector's debug mode (⌥⇧⌘D).

Are you saying that the layout direction doesn't work when NOT in the debug mode (⌥⇧⌘D)?

It doesn't work in Debug mode.

This indeed fixes the regression. I'd r+.

Nit: I noticed that several settings are instantiated in WI.loaded() while none in Bootstrap.js. Would it be better to add this one to WI.loaded() as well for consistency?

`WI.loaded` exists just as a way to say "run this stuff once all the scripts have loaded, but potentially before we're done creating the DOM".  We primarily use it now for initial state setup (both UI and protocol).  Frankly, we could probably just inline all of that code inside the last script in Main.html/Test.html (or distribute it, as the comment in AppControllerBase.js suggests).

In the case of `WI.showDebugUISetting`, most of our other global state `WI.Setting` are created in Setting.js itself (e.g. when the script is parsed/executed, not in some event), I think it's fine to do a similar thing in Bootstrap.js.  Putting it in `WI.loaded` would have the same effect, just delayed slightly more.
