1770415 - No SW thread in devtools>debugger

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect, P3)

Description

[engcolson]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0

Steps to reproduce:

I open a localhost website with a registered service worker and open the devtools. I read the documentation https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/application/service_workers/index.html#debug

Actual results:

No service worker logs in the console pane.
No service worker thread in the debugger pane.
The only way to access both is by going to about:debugging, then finding the service worker, click on inspect and get an url with an id (example: about:devtools-toolbox?id=836ca761-fce1-40c4-b34e-1e3188ddd34f&type=worker). But the ID change every time a hard refresh (shift+refresh) is made.

Expected results:

Access service worker logs in the console pane of the devtools.
Access service worker thread in the debugger pane of the devtools.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'DevTools::Debugger' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Can you go to about:preferences#experimental and enable "Developer Tools: Service Worker debugging" and test again?
If it works then we will just update the documentation accordingly.

There's a r+ patch which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks.
:jdescottes, could you have a look please?
If you still have some work to do, you can add an action "Plan Changes" in Phabricator.
For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.
