Bug 113670 – Web Inspector: manually update local variable in UI after its value was changed

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)

[Peter Rybin]

Currently after user changed local variable, the old value is still on display. Variable only visible changes it value after debug step. This is due to the fact that protocol doesn't support rereading local variables. We should mechanically update display value on frontend. Without this UI is quite counterintuitive

So when should I pay attention to scopeRef and when I should not? Does RemoteObject now represent different entities from different domains?

ScopeRef logically couples with objectId. Having ScopeRef set means that the remote object is transient and some operation don't have meaning for it.

RemoteObject is left intact (almost), as we discussed offline. ScopeRemoteObject inheriting class is introduced instead.

We typically say doGetProperties

> +        

Extra space

> Source/WebCore/inspector/front-end/RemoteObject.js:389
> + * @param {WebInspector.ScopeRef=} scopeRef

Why is this optional?

> Source/WebCore/inspector/front-end/RemoteObject.js:450
> +            WebInspector.RemoteObject.prototype.setObjectPropertyValueImpl.call(this, result, name, callback);

When do we get here and why?
