Bug 68544 – [Qt] Remote Web Inspector's Script Panel does not work Qt webkit 2.2 RC1

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

[Sriram Neelakandan]

1. Enable remote inspector using -remote-inspector-port  option while launching QtTestBrowser
2. Now try to Launch Remote Web Inspector for the page opened by QtTestBrowser
3. Most functions of Remote Web Inspector works except for Script Panel; which remains disabled even after clicking on "Enable Debugger" button

The fix lies in the following InspectorFrontendStub changeset in Webkit Trunk
http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/87744

Qt-webkit-2.2 branch still does not have this changeset cherry picked.

Sorry for the stupid question, but how can I perform step 2? I have never used the remote web inspector and have no idea how to enable or use it (and nobody from IRC right now either).

If this small commit is all that's needed to make it work properly, then the fix is a candidate for a future patch-level release (e.g.: QtWebKit-2.2.1). But first I have to figure out how to test it. :)

This will do it

1. ./QtTestBrowser -remote-inspector-port 9292
2. Load a page say www.google.com
3. Now use the latest version of chrome (websockets enabled version) and then connect to 127.0.0.1:9292/ 
4. Click on the Link displayed (google.com) to launch the Remote Inspector for that page

Yes its just a simple 2 line function fix... 

But the problem is, remote JS debugging for mobile developers will not be possible without this simple fix!

Problem tested and reproduced in 2.2, fix indeed works. I added it to the internal branch, It'll be part of our next minor update (2.2.1).

Thanks.
