I recently opened up a bug in the Chromium tracker, but as I had trouble loading DevTools locally earlier, I wonder if I'm missing something more obvious.

In my local instance of DevTools, I try to "Add Folder to Workspace," both in the Sources panel and from the Settings > Workspace panel to no avail. Is there something else I need to do to allow adding folders to Workspaces?

Hi Eric,

Remote front-end doesn't support workspaces feature.

Ah, thanks Andrey.

So, to work with Workspaces from DevTools source, should I build Chromium from source rather than remote debugging from Blink DevTools directly?

I've built Chrome from source, and opening the Debug build it looks like native DevTools are served in the bundled, built version. Blerg. Anyone know how to run DevTools from source with support for workspaces?

Nevermind - figured out I can edit devtools front-end in Chromium source and rebuild with ninja. Rad.

You could add debug_devtools flag to your ~/.gyp/include.gypi file. You will build debug version of devtools then which is not minified and is served from the sources through symlinks.
You could use the attached file.

include.gypi

Actually, these are hardlinks. Beware: they usually get broken whenever you switch branches in git.
