1302458 - monitorEvents and unmonitorEvents

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1165138

(DevTools :: General, defect)

Description

[Andreas Tolfsen ❲:ato❳]

Blink implements a series of JS monitoring functions in their devtools API available from the JS console.  Amongst them are monitorEvents() and unmonitorEvents() that logs to console whenever the object receives an event from the passed events array, or all events by default.

The relevant documentation here is:

    https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/debug/command-line/events

monitorEvents(object [, events]): https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/debug/command-line/command-line-reference#monitoreventsobject-events

unmonitorEvents(object [, events]): https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/debug/command-line/command-line-reference#unmonitoreventsobject-events

This is a feature request for Firefox’ devtools to offer the same monitoring capabilities.  I’ve personally found them useful as a debugging technique when working on making Marionette/WebDriver dispatch the right DOM events for interaction.
