  • Curl 8.0.1 because I jinked it
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Mar 2023
    You can paste that curl command into https://curlconverter.com/wget/ to turn it into a Wget command.

    > The reason there isn't a "Copy as wget" option, I think, is the level of control that curl allows so the request can be tailored to exactly mimic the browser.

    This is not true. You can read the code that generates the curl command and it's pretty straightforward:

    https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-frontend/blob/c9a...

    The arguments it uses are --url, --data-raw, -X/--request, -H/--header, --compressed and --insecure, all of which Wget has an analog of. I think the reason is that they don't care to do it and/or they don't want to make that dropdown menu 30 entries long.

  • Why you should check-in your node dependencies
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Dec 2021
    The GitHub mirror of the Chrome DevTools repo has the node_modules folder here: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-frontend/blob/mai...

    But there is nuance (there always is...), the README file in node_modules is here: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-frontend/blob/mai... - and it makes it clear the only NPM dependencies used by the build-system or infrastructure is meant to be checked-in. Other NPM packages should not.

    ----------

    In conclusion: the linked blog-article is clickbait that misrepresents how the Chrome team manages their dependencies.

    2 known issues:

    - DevTools doesn't display the viewport. I'm not sure if this is due to a change in the latest Chrome to which I just updated (~90) or because I broke my serving of it by updating it. A workaround will be serving a static snapshot of the devtools front-end rather than just (simply, as I'm doing right now) pulling it out of Chrome's RDP endpoint each time. This may take some time to do.

    - DevTools doesn't seem to work on iOS (as I've tested it, Safari or Chrome).

    - There are many more issues, and a lot, but not all, of them are edge cases but they'll be fixed eventually.

    More bug reports, UI/UX tips and advice, and other feedback are very welcome! Unfortunately the whole app is not open source but some parts are open source, namely, the virtualized browser[0], and the devtools-front-end[1].
