choice of IDE for Google Chrome development

[sakchromedev]

Hi All

Just curious what kind of development setup engineers at Google use for Chrome development.

What I use:

On a Mac

Textmate as editor and Google Code search for quick references.

I would like to what is the optimal set up environment on a Mac. :)

Thanks

I use Sublime Text 2 which seems to be quite popular on the team.

For debugging: gdb + prodigious printfs :)

• Command-T

There is support amongst the team for using Sublime Text 2:

I also happen to be one of the converts (previously from TextMate, and
before that XCode).

+1 to Sublime Text 2. Other IDEs I've tried have a tendency to get bogged down by the size of the Chromium codebase.

Also: cgdb for debugging! Some day I'll convert pdr...

Thanks. Any custom plugins with Sublime Text 2 for auto-complete feature?

I use SlickEdit (on linux, it's available on other OSes). I also use Sublime Text - but so far SlickEdit seems to handle the size of Chromium just as well or better with autocomplete and go to definition available out of the box. I debug rarely with SE, but have done so.

I am another Sublime Text convert.

I printf-to-debug on Mac and Linux. Visual Studio is an awesome tool for exploring Chrome at runtime if you can tolerate Windows.

Also, for navigating the Chromium code base, code search is indispensable. I just wish it was part of Sublime Text (anyone?):

When I'm developing Chrome on any platform, I always have several tabs open (in Chrome of course) of code searches.

Quite a few of us use Emacs. See
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/Emacs for some tips on using
with Chromium.
