*** Original post on bio 2196 at 2013-10-03 13:33:00 UTC *** Now that we have the ability to put arbitrary content in tabs, we should show debug logs in a tab instead of "Copy debug log". This eliminates the need for an external text editor and would allow us to format the logs into a more readable format.

This is a WIP. The "Copy debug log" menu item now opens a tab that displays the debug log with some basic formatting. Todo: 1. Better formatting - fonts, colors (?), etc 2. Add a dropdown menu from which you can choose to view another account's log. 3. (l10n) Change "Copy debug log" to "Show debug log" 4. ???

I used a table so that the log message would stay aligned (and not overflow below the timestamp). (In reply to Patrick Cloke [:clokep] from comment #4) > I'd suggest we still want a way to COPY debug logs, e.g. for copying into > bug reports, etc. Yup, but I was thinking of adding a way to do that from the tab itself (like a "Copy to clipboard" button or something?)
Comment on attachment 8379251 [details] [diff] [review] WIP Review of attachment 8379251 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- A favicon would be nice ;) (hopefully there is something already existing that is vaguely suitable). Are you intending the account context menu to have Show debug log in addition to Copy or will this replace Copy (with the Copy button living in the log pane)? Some ideas to play around with: Print the timestamp and LOG/WARN/ERROR in a different color (grey) and a smaller font to save space. Possibly on a separate line above the actual log entry. Is there a simple way to distinguish incoming/outgoing messages? ::: im/content/accounts.js @@ +228,5 @@ > + if (!aWindow) > + return false; > + let logPanel = aWindow.document.createElementNS( > + "http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul", > + "debugLogPanel"); Can't you use Conversations.showTab("debugLogPanel") and showTab("newTab")? @@ +230,5 @@ > + let logPanel = aWindow.document.createElementNS( > + "http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul", > + "debugLogPanel"); > + if (!aWindow.getTabBrowser().addPanel(logPanel)) > + return false; Does this imply there can be only one debug log panel?

Looks like showTab() needs another parameter (and the logPanel needs an init method) ;)

Attached patch Patch (obsolete) — — Splinter Review
I found some time to push this forward. This new patch introduces a toolbar at the top that lets you switch accounts, and buttons to refresh as well as copy the log. Also, the way to open the panel is now using a "/debug" command within a conversation. I've removed the code that opens it from the Accounts window for now, but in the next patch I want to change the "Copy Debug Log" option to "Show Debug Log" and find a way to open the panel without too much duplication. One thing I want to note is that some LOG messages are displayed with a trailing newline. I found this was necessary to ensure the copied log is identical to what you would get with the current "Copy Debug Log" option, but maybe there's a way to hide the newline in UI?

Here's what it looks like right now on OS X. I haven't yet tested the theming for other platforms (maybe I should have requested f?). BTW, as you can see I haven't tweaked any of the styling as per the suggestions above and am not really too motivated to do that at the moment :( Maybe it can be a follow up?

Sorry about that comment. I can't get rid of the self variable because self.bundle(...) is being used from a getter, and I couldn't find a way to use arrow functions with getters.

Since this has confused both flo and me now, it's probably best if you swap the arrow functions in run() for self references, unless there is a good reason not to.
