GWT Developer Plugin for Firefox 8

[Alan Leung]

Hi all:

I just finished building / testing the FF8 dev mode plugin for Linux 32 bit (http://www.sendspace.com/file/h8wgmn)

More to come tomorrow.

Again, if you are using FF8 already. I'd greatly appreciate if you give that a try and let me know when you see anything weird.

-Alan

[Thad]

Thanks, Alan. After uninstalling the FF7 plug-in, I restarted FF8 and
loaded this. My first attempt to use it was successful. I'll keep you
posted.

For your records, I'm running FF on OpenSuSE 11.4, 32-bit with GWT 2.3
(gonna run 2.4 as soon as I get permission to drop support from some
old Mac servers).

BTW, I was attempting to do the same thing, but was unable to build
Firefox so I'd have the libraries and headers necessary for plugin-
sdks/gecko-sdks/gecko-8.0.0. I cloned mozilla-central overnight. This
morning I created .mozconfig and ran make -f client.mk but quickly got
the error ".../client.mk:282: *** Could not find autoconf 2.13.
Stop." This I don't understand: Why would it require 2.13 exactly? (I
have 2.68 in the path.) I was gonna play with the AUTOCONF setting in
client.mk when I saw your announcement.

Thanks again.

[David Guo]

I'll try it in Win7 64 bit to see if it works or not.
If not,maybe i CAN rebuild it on my own.

[Alan Leung]

Alright I have built and tested it for all platforms

Have fun!

brilliant! Thanx Alan for the quick job. I was already worried I had to
stick with the "old" FF version for weeks...

Thomas

PS: anyone knows what's the matter with Mozilla these days that they
keep banging together new "major" releases of FF and TB? Is it a QA
problem or do they just want to push up their version numbers ;)

Thanks, Alan! Great work!


Seems to work on FF8 Win 7 x64.

(also) Alan

[Samyem Tuladhar]

Thanks. Worked for me as well. Wonder if the GWT official team would be able to pick this up and offer through the official channel.

and it's incredible that the chrome plugin is tremendous slower than the ff one!

The gwt official plugin is still stuck with FF6 - already 2 version behind. 

[Igor Lysak]

Thanks a lot, Alan! Good work!

[Juan Pablo Gardella]

Awesome Alan, is very fast!!!

Alan *is* from the "GWT official team"!

[Thomas Broyer]

It's been officially updated to FF7 yesterday (the XPI was downlodable for a long time already on the SVN): http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/detail?r=10735

[Michael Vogt]

Hello Alan.

> Alright I have built and tested it for all platforms

Thank you for the update. Worked for me without problem today.

Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit with GWT 2.4

Greetings,
Michael

[Alan Leung]

Right. I keep a very close watch on the FF release schedule. The latest and greatest is usually in SVN quickly if you are feeling adventurous.

I am slightly hesitant to push it out to the official page because I don't want to break EVERY GWT user with a bad build. If you are downloading from the SVN, I assume you have no problem uninstalling a bad version if it didn't work for you.

[bryn ryans]

Any particular reason why the FF8 plugin has been uploaded www.fileswap.com

rather than google-web-toolkit SVN (http://google-web-
toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/)?

Thanks.

[David Guo]

Well done Alan,great work.
Work well on FF8 in Win7 64 bit.

[csillag]

When running inside Iceweasel 8.0, the plugin in installed correctly,
but dev mode does not work.

Kristof

[csillag]

Sorry, false alarm.

I installed the wrong version (which contained only the 32 bit
version) on a 64bit system.
The later version works all right.

Thank you, this way much faster than the previous rounds.

[James Wendel]

Agreed. It would be nice to see this uploaded to SVN.

[Alan Leung]

I started a code review already.

[Levi Van Zele]

Thanks a lot! Works on Ubuntu amd64 as well.

[vlatkoB]

Works on Ubuntu 64, FF 8 64. Thanks!

[SurfMan]

I can confirm this plugin works on Fedora 15 64 bit, on Firefox 8. I am using it in conjunction with IntelliJ's debugger. I can now fire up the server, start the debugger, then use this plugin to connect. Even hot-swap of compiled code works :)

Thanks for your efforts!!

[SamReciter]

Very well, Alan. Works great for me (also Win7 64bit). Thanks a lot. Saves my day.

[David Vree]

This is huge as my Ubuntu workstations are all at Firefox 8...thanks a ton for posting this.

[rakesh wagh]

unfortunately fileswap.com is blocked here. Is there an alternate location from where I can download? I am looking for firefox plugin on 64bit/win7. Thanks, greatly appreciated! 

Rakesh Wagh 

[Dimitrijević Ivan]

When will you put FF8 GWT plugin in SVN repo?

[Samyem Tuladhar]

By the time the official GWT firefox plugin supports version 8, Firefox would already have been out on version 15! 

[Thomas Broyer]

By the time Firefox will be on version 15, the Dev plugin hopefully won't be needed anymore (google for "gwt super draft mode")

[rakesh wagh]

I got the file. works well! good job... keep it up. 

[Bruce Grant]

Many thanks Alan - saved me much frustration and re-installs!

[Steve]

Hmm, I'm having problems.  Testing with the "Web Application Starter Project" from GPE wizard.  It renders initial screen (and breakpoints work), but when I press the Send button nothing happens (including clickHandler breakpoints).  Works when I use Chrome and IE.  Win 7, GPE 2.4r37.

Steve

[Alan Leung]

Do you have more details? This is the exact same set up I use to test it after building it.

The click handler for the "Send" button never gets called using FF8.  I set a breakpoint in the strawman module in "MyHandler.onClick()" and it gets hit in Chrome but not FF8 with GWT.

I tried both Java 7 and Java 6.

I'm using Eclipse Indigo, GPE 2.4r37, FF 8.0.1.  All *pretty clean installs.  I'll try a clean install tomorrow.

Not sure if related, but the GPE wants to update but every time I try it seems to timeout doing the download.  I've tried this half a dozen times over two weeks.

[Dimitrijević Ivan]

Finally, I saw GWT FF8 plugin in the repo: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/gwt-dev-plugin.xpi

I've successfully tested on the MacOS X. No problems found.

[tdk]

... and now we have FF 8.0.1 and yet again the plugin is reported as being incompatible.
What on earth is going on?

[Jens]

I have FF 8.0.1 (OS X) and the plugin works great (http://www.fileswap.com/dl/1OVPVHwWEp/gwt-dev-plugin.xpi.html)

Just making sure everyone is getting the right version.

I have verified that it works on Firefox 8.0.1 just now.

It works!  The problem was some Firefox extension or plugin somehow caused problems.  Once I disabled everything except GWT, it worked.  Thanks Alan!

Steve

[Dimitrijević Ivan]

Also verified and tested on Win 7 64bit.

It seams that everything is OK.

[Samyem Tuladhar]

Can the plugin be made to work on the current stable release of Firefox 9 as well? Thanks.

[Alan Leung]

Not sure. The official xulrunner sdk was not release until today. I am currently testing it.

I'll keep everyone updated.

Looking forward to the good news, but it is really annoying that the extension is incompatible after firefox upgrades every time, especially today firefox updates much more frequently.

Anyway, thanks so much, Alan! 

[Alan Leung]

Ok FF9 is the most painful one so far....I suspect it'll get worst.

http://www.mediafire.com/?5tak1zzo6a3yvn0

Both Linux 64 and 32 should be working.

I am still working on Windows and Mac. Don't install it on those platforms yet.

I can't remember if it had been said in this thread already or not, but the GWT team is working on a replacement for the DevMode that would work without browser plugin (think Dart's frog server, Closure script, and I believe I saw something similar for CoffeeScript, but cannot find it back): https://plus.google.com/s/gwt%20super%20draft%20mode

(along with http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/detail?r=10767)

[Alan]

thank u, nice work.

the next Firefox9...

9 worked great, but now fx 10 is on the horizon :-/ ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/10.0/

Anyone here who can build the fx10 extension?

[Samyem Tuladhar]

Would have been great if the gwt plugin auto-updates when FX upgrades. FX10 is already showing auto updater up on my computer.

As much as I'd like to, that isn't possible. xulrunner 10.0 was just released an hour ago.

[Samyem Tuladhar]

I also got selenium plugin and it seems to be able to auto-update after FX upgrades automatically. Is this because selenium team would have access to the xulrunner before hand? 

[Thomas Broyer]

Selenium probably doesn't use a binary component, which dev mode have to use. We talked about using js-ctypes which would allow forward compatibility, but that's not possible.
