1866818 - Ensure JS Tracer work with remote debugging

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Debugger, task)

Description

[Alexandre Poirot [:ochameau]]

The current status of JS Tracer when remote debugging is unknown.
It isn't explitly disabled, but the preference gets in the way of using it as you need to set it manually both on desktop and the mobile device.

It would be nice to have a sanity check done by a test and if we don't plan to enable the pref soon, may be make the pref be client side only so that we can more easily use this feature.

Otherwise, the current two outputs may not be ideal for remote debugging.

• stdout may be too complex to use as you would have to use adb logcat
• webconsole may be too slow because of RDP latency over the wire
  An optimized custom view in the debugger may help and/or the profiler output.
