The remote agent is by default not included in Firefox builds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build it, put this in your [mozconfig]:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ac_add_options --enable-cdp
|
|
|

This exposes a `--remote-debugger` flag you can use to start the
|
|
|
|
|
|
remote agent:

% ./mach run --setpref "browser.fission.simulate=true" -- --remote-debugger

When you make changes to the XPCOM component you need to rebuild
|
|
|
|
|
|
in order for the changes to take effect. The most efficient way to
|
|
|
|
|
|
do this, provided you haven’t touched any compiled code (C++ or Rust):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% ./mach build faster
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Component files include the likes of RemoteAgent.js, RemoteAgent.manifest,
|
|
|
|
|
|
moz.build files, prefs/remote.js, and jar.mn. All the JS modules
|
|
|
|
|
|
(files ending with `.jsm`) are symlinked into the build and can be
|
|
|
|
|
|
changed without rebuilding.
