| Dart Observatory Developer Guide |
| --- |
| |
| Assumptions: |
| You are running pub from the latest dev channel release of Dart Editor. |
| |
| 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. Run pub upgrade |
| 3. Run dart --observe script.dart |
| 4. Run 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 3. |
| |
| Continue to develop and iterate until you're ready to upload your change |
| for review. Upload your change and get an LGTM. |
| |
| 5. Run pub build |
| 6. Run ./deploy.sh |
| |
| Note: If you run pub from within the editor you need to make sure that it runs |
| in release mode (--mode=release), i.e., output is minified and does not include |
| any .dart source files. |
| |
| At this point you should rebuild your VM and: |
| |
| 7. Launch dart --observe script.dart |
| |
| In a non-Dart enabled browser navigate to localhost:8181 and ensure |
| that your feature works after being compiled to JavaScript. |
| |
| 8. Commit your change |
