WebSocket inspector will be in DevEdition next week!

DevTools guy here, WebSockets will be in DevEdition in the next build, b2, next week!

Actual link: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1545057

For anybody who wants to follow along, the Firefox work is tracked here: https://gitter.im/webhintio/Firefox

The experiment was a great start to see what is needed to support Puppeteer. The next step is coming up with a well-integrated architecture. Find me on the web to talk to me about your use cases and ideas for Puppeteer.

DevTools PM here. I did write about improved source maps in Firefox a few weeks ago on hacks (https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/05/faster-smarter-javascript-...). Hope devs try it out again, as tools evolve and improve fast.

Was this with 68? If so, could you share specific around what felt buggy.

fyi, we are picking up the websocket work this summer; so first parts might show up in 69, latest 70.

Article author here: You are describing a lot of issues that should be fixed. If you could try out 68 for a bit, you can help us confirm.

I will aim for another post going into more of the issues and how we fixed them and sharing some more frustrating breakage developers might have experienced and how we improved it.

IntelliJ uses different adapters for Firefox and Chrome, so they might have side effects. We also touched a lot of our protocol APIs when adding column breakpoints, so I will reach out to see if we can improve.

Article author here. We are monitoring both, but are recently managing all our work in bugzilla.

That is true for most code protections other than moving the code away from the client. Developers definetely need to understand they they are only making it harder but not preventing access.

It is true that the way from JS to C to JS is an awkward recommendation. The common use case for Emscripten is the cross compilation when you already have native libraries that you want to share with your web app; which makes the web just another build target. And I concluded in the article that the obfuscation is really just a benefitial side effect.

July 11 will be release of 4.0. A lot of Web API fixes to make things consistent and much more fine-grained control over orientation, location and other device APIs. Follow the hacks blog for updates.

Great to hear that it works with all your tools!

Follow the development at https://github.com/mozilla/r2d2b2g/ . We are working on the first release, so feedback is more than welcome!
