Bug 59100 – Web Inspector: Tiny improvement to UI for adding an XHR breakpoint

• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Mike West]

Currently, adding an XHR breakpoint in the inspector is quite opaque: clicking "+" brings up an input field, but gives no information regarding what it means. After the breakpoint is added, the text is a bit more clear (`URL contains "x"`). Chrome user feedback makes it apparent that this workflow isn't clear. I'd like to add explanatory text that makes the field's purpose clear.

Strawman patch for discussion.

This is the first patch I'm attempting to contribute to WebKit, so please be gentle.  Happily, it's tiny, so I hope there's not much I could have done incorrectly. :)

Assuming that the functionality is acceptable, I'd appreciate a pointer to which layout test I ought to modify to deal with the new addition. I didn't find anything (and nothing broke... ?), but I'm happy to add tests.

Thanks!

Overall looks good. r- for not localizing the string + expensive selector. Also, please attach images with screenshots when suggesting visual changes.

Please attach screenshot for visual changes.

There should be no OOPS lines.

> Source/WebCore/inspector/front-end/BreakpointsSidebarPane.js:268
> +        inputElementContainer.textContent = WebInspector.UIString("Break when URL contains:");

New localized strings should be added into WebCore/English.lproj/localizedStrings.js

> Source/WebCore/inspector/front-end/inspector.css:1744
> +.pane > .body .breakpoint-condition span {

This selector is too expensive. Could you please assign a class name (or id) to the span?

Patch that addresses the initial review comments.

I briefly attempted to replace the `p > span` structure with a `label > input`. I still believe that's a good idea, but I'm running into enough tiny display issues doing it that I'd like to break it out into a larger refactoring (e.g. including the other on-the-fly fields in the inspector, for instance the "Watch Expressions" panel) in another bug.

One nit, otherwise looks good.

> +#breakpoint-condition-input {

Blank line above please.

Newbie question: You dropped the `review?` flag entirely, so I'm not quite sure what the next step is. `review?` or `review? + cq?` or something else entirely? :)
