SuperDevMode on/off bookmarklets aren't compatible with frames

[Davide Cavestro]

I have an entry point hosted into an iframe. I have to manually open the host page into a new browser tab in order to make the superdev mode aware of the modules available (otherwise the superdev mode UI doesn't detect any module).

I've tried to manually tweak the bookmarklet code in order to create the boot script element within the frame (instead than within the outer document) but at this point when I run the bookmarklet I obtain a dialog complaining

Need to reinstall the bookmarklets.

I suspect the bookmarklet js code is somewhat validated against some hash, and if I manually edit it the validation fails...

Is there any workaround?

I reproduce this issue with GWT 2.6.0 both on Google Chrome 32.0.1700.107 and Firefox 26.0

Kind regards

Davide

The problem was that I didn't adapted the script portion that saves the __gwt_bookmarklet_params variable (it should work on the frame window).

So since in my case the frame was called 'sheet', at the end for me it was enough adapting it this way

javascript:%7B var sheetFrame %3D document.getElementById('sheet') %3B sheetFrame.contentWindow.__gwt_bookmarklet_params %3D %7B'server_url'%3A'http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9876%2F'%7D%3B var s %3D sheetFrame.contentWindow.document.createElement('script')%3B s.src %3D 'http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9876%2Fdev_mode_on.js'%3B void(sheetFrame.contentWindow.document.getElementsByTagName('head')%5B0%5D.appendChild(s))%3B%7D

that is simply the URL encoded version of

javascript:{ var sheetFrame = document.getElementById('sheet') ; sheetFrame.contentWindow.__gwt_bookmarklet_params = {'server_url':'http://localhost:9876/'}; var s = sheetFrame.contentWindow.document.createElement('script'); s.src = 'http://localhost:9876/dev_mode_on.js'; void(sheetFrame.contentWindow.document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s));}
