WARNING: This tooling is deprecated and maintained on a best-effort basis by members of the Dart VM team.
To easily serve Observatory without having to manually run webdev serve in this project, Observatory can be activated as a global pub package and run via the observatory tool.
To do this, run dart bin/activate.dart, which will create the observatory script at $PUB_CACHE/bin.
Note: If any changes are made to bin/observatory.dart, dart bin/activate.dart must be re-run to pick up the changes.
To serve Observatory, simply run the observatory command. To automatically launch Observatory in Chrome, provide the --launch flag.
When making changes to Observatory, run observatory --debug to run Observatory with DDC. This will allow for a more typical web development workflow as changes to the Observatory sources will be picked up automatically on a page refresh.
The development workflow of Dart (and Observatory) is based on code reviews.
Follow the code review instructions to be able to successfully submit your code.
