Subject: [ovirt-devel] oVirt UI now supports GWT Super Dev Mode
Hi everyone,
in ovirt-engine master branch, it's now possible [1] to use GWT Super
Dev Mode [2] to debug oVirt web applications (WebAdmin, UserPortal):
[1] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/50742/
[2] http://www.gwtproject.org/articles/superdevmode.html
Please refer to commit msg [1] for details on GWT Super Dev Mode.
First of all Kudos
I think that the steps explaining how to use that should appear also in README.developer
file
In general, SDM is good for "iterative" development when one changes
UI code and wants to see the change reflected in browser very quickly
(compared to existing GWT debug mechanism, aka Classic Dev Mode).
On the other hand, SDM does *not* allow using Java IDE to debug UI
code, so one has to rely on browser's JavaScript developer tools.
Existing (Java IDE based) debug mechanism still works as expected,
the Super Dev Mode is just an alternative.
Note on SDM usage by Scott: it's almost easier to run in Chrome's
incognito mode so cached JS and mapped sources aren't an issue.
Regards,
Vojtech
