922823 - Rule view doesn't work when navigating to sub-frames of a browser window

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Inspector, defect)

Description

[J. Ryan Stinnett [:jryans] (Use needinfo, replies may be slow)]

STR:

1. Start Nightly
2. In GCLI, run "listen 6000"
3. Open a separate instance of Nightly (new profile, etc.)
4. Go to Tools -> Web Developer -> Connect
5. Connect to localhost:6000
6. Choose "Main Process"
7. Search for "#content" in the inspector
8. The rule view works here
9. Attempt to descend into the child frame
10. The rule view no longer shows any CSS

This example is a little silly, since you could just inspect the real page itself, but I just included that because it was easier to set up.  There are other frames of real interest, such as the one inside "#social-sidebar-box", but you will only see content inside there if you install Talkilla[1].

Just realized my Browser Toolbox patches are needed to even see anything in the Inspector at the moment...  Hopefully I can take a look at this soon.

I am not actively working on this, so someone else may wish to take a look.

This may now be working after Bug 920141?  I've tried to follow STR in WebIDE and I'm not seeing the iframe, but descending into children seems to work OK

Ryan, do you still see this?

Looks like it's resolved to me as well!
