First of all Kudos
Thanks!
I think that the steps explaining how to use that should appear also
in
README.developer file
These steps should be already there:
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/50742/10/README.developer
it's basically like this:
- use DEV_BUILD_GWT_SUPER_DEV_MODE=1 when running make install-dev
- use DEV_BUILD_GWT_SUPER_DEV_MODE=1 when running make gwt-debug
- visit http://127.0.0.1:9876/ and bookmark "Dev Mode On" script
- open GWT app (without ?gwt.codesvr=..) and click "Dev Mode On"
I'll update the "Frontend Debug" docs accordingly, I promise :-)
