Steps to Reproduce:

I don't know if this is a real bug, or elsewhere Debug Menu has enterely disabled, for now. Is there a way to make it visible?

Actually it should appear. Do you have an "SeaMonkey Debug and QA UI" extension under Tools->Add-On Manager?

Comment 2

[quicksilver8]

No, it isn't there. I only have DOM Inspector.

Are you able to look at what is packaged in the nightly of SeaMonkey?

The following files should be present:

extensions/[e-mail]/install.rdf
extensions/[e-mail]/chrome.manifest
extensions/[e-mail]/chrome/debugqa.jar

If they aren't, then something is going wrong in the packaging process... if they are then they may be something else wrong.

I've looked at. Those files aren't present. This situation came out a week ago. Till now, Debug Menu is vanished. Nightly's menus I see, from the left, are:
SeaMonkey, File, Edit, View, Go, Bookmarks, Tools, Window, Help.
Hopefully this helps to find the problem.

Yes, it helps to know where to start looking.

I've taken a look at the build logs from the tinderboxes, and found that the debugQA extension is being built but not packaged (e.g. see http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=SeaMonkey-Ports/1183825080.5738.gz&fulltext=1 search for debugQA@ and inspector@ and compare - note this is both our mac boxes).

So either the extension isn't ending up in the right place, or something is excluding it from packaging. I've got no idea what.

Robert: could you take a look on the tinderbox and see if debugQA is ending up in objdir/dist/bin/extensions/[e-mail] prior to the packaging?

I've forgotten: In the Preferences, the Debug panel is vanished too! The last, at the bottom, is Advanced.

Comment 7

[Robert Kaiser]

Sure, the whole extensions isn't packaged on mac as it's built after the packaging has been done. Apparently someone read a comment in the Makefile that explains this and later forgot about it ;-)

Attachment: Build debugQA before suite/app

This will fix the problem - builds debugQA before packaging it on mac.

Build debugQA before suite/app

Yes, this should do it. r=me

I've just checked this in. Should be fixed in today's nightlies (next few hours probably...).
