Closure Inspector as Chrome extension?

[gedw99]

I am wondering is Chrome Extension can also act as a Closure
Inspector ??

Or is the API available make it impossible to do ?

bump :)

Bump bump.

I find it really odd that this tool has fallen by the wayside, and we don't know why. Are Googlers using something better? Are they using pure Chrome dev tools?

[Chad Killingsworth]

Closure Inspector was not widely used. Most debugging is done by using the --debug and --pretty_print flags when compiling (even on some internal Google projects).

Ok, that's what I'm doing as well.

What about if there's a problem that's only manifesting when compiling with advanced optimizations?

We have older tools that allow for V1-level mapping manually (more or less). However, rest assured we are working on more interesting uses for source maps :)

[Robert Stuttaford]

Is Paul Irish going to be involved in presenting those uses? I just watched his Chrome Dev Tools and Modernizr talks. Funny guy.

You can use advanced optimizations with --pretty_print and --debug. It works rather well in fact. Symbols are still renamed, but they are given rather verbose names that makes it easy to match to the original source.
