Experimental build with integrated style profiler preview

By David Håsätherhzr. Wednesday, May 16, 2012 11:26:19 AM

Back in November, we released a standalone build of Opera Dragonfly's style profiler. In today's release on the experimental path, the profiler is now integrated next to the other Opera Dragonfly tabs and tools.

When switching to the Profiler tab, Opera Dragonfly will ask to reload the page. This is necessary in order to get the best possible profiling data, without any overhead from other debugging services that Opera Dragonfly usually runs. [1]

Please note that this is the same version of the profiler that was previously released in the standalone version, so there aren't any new pieces of functionality. However, we're already working on more features, such as the ability to zoom into the timeline.

This release also includes the inspection of return values that was mentioned on the blog recently.

  1. ↑ When Opera Dragonfly is opened, it starts a few services for debugging purposes. One of these is the ECMAScript debugger service, which disables JIT. By disabling this service, the profiler will give much more accurate data, since JIT will remain enabled.

I have problem on O12 - settings are not saved. This happen previously only for /experimental/, so I switch to default, but now it's happen again (on /app/). It's most annoying because 'Stop after parsing errors' is enabled by default.

Try deleting persistent storage (Delete private data > Delete peristent storage) and see if they are saved next time.

This not work. Deleting dragonfly.opera.com in ctrl+f12 -> advanced -> storage also not work.
//edit:
I try this now on fresh USB install, and is the same.

@gwarser, thanks for reporting, i can see it too, it's a regression of localStoarge in conjunction with app cache, made a bug report.

Quickly playing with this I found these bugs:

Minor bug
When you are recording, and hover with the mouse over the 'record' button, the tooltip still says "start profiling", that should be "stop profiling"

Annoying bug:
I have a widescreen monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080 and the 'selector' and the 'time' column are very far apart. It would be nice if you could resize the 'selector' column (or if the selector column would be only as big as needed)

very nice!

// there is a bug in this build, when you click on [+] marks in DOM tree - you will start getting 'undefined' appended to the text inside of the node so you will end up with string like undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedOriginal_text. ( O11.62 )

Gentlemen, are you going to support any kind of WebWorkers debugging in Dragonfly? Currently Opera asks "Not all scripts are loaded. Do you want to reload the page?" when debugging a page with WebWorker in it.

Hi,
I've got several pepople asking me (most recently on twitter) about WebSQL debugging in Dragonfly. I know that the standard is buried, but lot's of people prefer it and use IndexDB only as fallback. Also Opera extension developers can use it without problem.

Could you give as at least tab in "Storag" panel with list of databases (with delete button) and expandable list of their tables and size?

Probably just a temporary downtime. Everything works for me now.

No, it caused by custom UA

Should be fixed now.

Next builds

New features are added to the experimental branch as soon as they're ready. Once tested, they move to the cutting-edge branch as a release candidate. Unless any problems arise, they are then promoted to the stable branch.

To switch to these builds, enter the relevant URL in opera:config#DeveloperTools, save the configuration change and (re-)open Opera Dragonfly.
