I'm feeling a bit dense -- I see instructions here for installing
Speed Tracer on Windows, but no Mac instructions:

http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/speedtracer/get-started.html#downloading

But there are Mac screen shots on this page, so I'm assuming it's
supposed to work. What am I missing here? Specifically, what's the
Mac way to add the --enable-extension-timeline-api option to Chrome?

Jim.

As far as I understood there is no way to install extensions on the
Mac Chrome, so we are left out of the fun stuff for now.

Hi,
thanks for the link.
Still, I did not manage to install the plugin. I indeed managed to
turn on the install plugin button, but it fails afterwards with a
"plugin install not enabled" dialog.

Did anyone succeed?

brgds,

Papick

I got it running on a Chromium build:

Now, let's just hope we get a GWT plugin or Chromium/Mac soon...

Hi Jim,

We were actually kind of late finding out that extensions would not be enabled on the Mac, so we didn't get a chance to change out the screenshots. In fact, extensions have been turned on in the Mac Dev Channel for the past month but they had to turn them off briefly for the Chrome Beta launch. They will be getting turned back on soon.

But if you are really interested in running Speed Tracer on Chrome Mac, you can use the nightly builds (where extensions are turned on). Someone just recently wrote about how to do this:

The one warning I'll offer is that extensions support on the Mac is not quite finished so the Save/Load functionality in Speed Tracer doesn't work and you may run into other small annoyances. However, I use a Mac and this is exactly what I do to use Speed Tracer on my machine.

Hi, launch Chrome from the command line:

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --
enable-extension-timeline-api

Thanks, Kelly! Awesome demo, BTW:

Jaime Yap emailed me to let me know that I wasn't losing my mind, that
the plugin support is briefly broken in the dev channel version of
Chrome for Mac:

https://groups.google.com/group/speedtracer/browse_thread/thread/5a42cb942f09bf7b

Now we just need a similar tool for IE. :-)
