| Dart Observatory Developer Guide |
| --- |
| |
| During development you do not need to run dart2js or rebuild the VM (unless |
| you are also making changes to the backend). While you're working on your |
| feature follow the steps: |
| |
| 1. Open runtime/bin/vmservice/client in the Dart Editor |
| 2. Launch dart --enable-vm-service with a long running script in a terminal |
| 3. Launch web/index.html in Dartium |
| |
| At this point you should see the initial Observatory UI and that |
| it is communicating with the VM you launched in step 2. |
| |
| Continue to develop and iterate until you're ready to upload your change |
| for review. Upload your change and get an LGTM. |
| |
| 4. Run dart build_.dart |
| 5. Run ./precommit.sh |
| |
| At this point you should rebuild your VM and using the build: |
| |
| 6. Launch dart --enable-vm-service with a long running script. |
| |
| In a non-Dart enabled browser navigate to localhost:8181 and ensure |
| that your feature works after being compiled to JavaScript. |
| |
| 7. Commit your change |
