Bug 148088 – Web Inspector: when remote inspecting iOS device, cannot inspect the Web Inspector itself

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME
• Component: Web Inspector

[Blaze Burg]

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. make sure you can inspect the inspector normally:

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtrasEnabled 1
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2DeveloperExtrasEnabled 1

2. Remote inspect Safari page on an iOS device
3. Right click inside the inspector

EXPECTED:

 * Second-level inspector pops up when right clicking the inspector

ACTUAL:

 * No menu item for "Inspect Element" when right clicking the inspector


NOTES:

This is probably a matter of not having a different defaults key set somewhere. Joe, any ideas?

The WK1 default should work. Maybe the WK delegate is removing the context menu item?

[Joseph Pecoraro]

Actually, it uses its own default.

    shell> defaults write com.apple.WebInspector DeveloperExtrasEnabled -bool YES

Ideally we would move it to a WKWebView variant.

OK, added the default to the wiki for now. Closing this bug.
