Does run as JavaScript from the editor use pub serve?

I got the advice to use pub serve instead of pub build for active development

but 'run as JavaScript' is only available in the build directory so I have to use pub build first, don't I?

I think you'd have to run "pub serve" from the command line. I haven't noticed any Editor integration.

I found these docs: http://pub.dartlang.org/doc/pub-serve.html  Let us know if something is missing. Thanks!

Not yet. You can get to it from the Editor, but it's hidden behind an experimental setting, I think. Keerti knows more about this.

Pub serve is quite new and we didn't want users at 1.0 to all beat on it and run into issues. As it gets more stable, we'll be making it more prominent in the Editor.

Nope. Pub serve will compile to JS on the fly every time you change your Dart code.

Let me know if you run into any problems. :)

Cheers!

I was surprised by "more prominent", shouldn't it replace the "javascript mode" of the editor altogether eventually?

You can try out the pub serve launch from the editor. Here's how: 

- create a .options file in your editor install directory with the following content

com.google.dart.tools.core/experimental=true

com.google.dart.tools.core/experimental/pubserve=true

- launch the editor from command line 

DartEditor -debug /path to editor install dir/.options

- Now in the editor if you go to Run > Manage Launches Dialog, you should see a new launch configuration type - launch in Dartium using pub serve.

Works.

Thank you Keerti for this information, this helps a lot.

I'm pretty confident that I already tried pub serve launch in one of the previous Dart releases and wondered where it went.
