Bug 76464 – Web Inspector: CopyText is not implemented for remote web inspector

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

[Konrad Piascik]

The soft context menu options:
Copy Link Address
Copy Request Headers
Copy Response Headers
Copy Entry as HAR
Copy All as HAR

do not function at all since InspectorFrontendHostStub.js has an empty implementation for the copyText function.

You should also remove copyNode from the Inspector.json and InspectorDOMAgent.h/cpp.

> Source/WebCore/inspector/front-end/ElementsTreeOutline.js:1687
> +        var copy = function(id, text) {

Should be:

function copy(error, text)
{
    if (!error)
        ....
}

You should also create a dedicated bug for this patch. As for the original issue, it can be solved via browser extensions. Chrome exposes access to the clipboard given the necessary permission is granted by the user.

Web platform does not and will not allow accessing clipboard from within the page at a random point of time.

clear flag.

Closing as invalid, as this bug pertains to the old inspector UI and/or its tests.
Please file a new bug (https://www.webkit.org/new-inspector-bug) if the bug/feature/issue is still relevant to WebKit trunk.
