Inspect/debug browser within headset?

[RingoKam]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With the release of Quest Pro, it makes working in the headset a whole lot more comfortable. I am trying to have a development workflow within the headset. However I cannot access the console/dev tool.

Describe the solution you'd like
is it possible to expose the the dev tool? Would be nice to at least have access to the console

Describe alternatives you've considered
I think its possible to tap into console and print it in on a canvas in VR scene.

It's partly possible at a higher level, e.g https://github.com/kylebakerio/a-console

You can use Remote debugging to access the console, but that requires connecting the device to a desktop/laptop with a Firefox desktop.

Would that work for you?

[Utopiah]

I warmly recommend remote debugging but how would one does that from within the HMD?

[svillar]

I don't think that's possible from within the HMD because Wolvic runs as a full screen app, so if you want to open any other, you have to close Wolvic first.

Thank you for the recommendation! I am override the console log method for now and then printing it in the canvas. https://ourcodeworld.com/articles/read/104/how-to-override-the-console-methods-in-javascript

It would be awesome to have the devtool in the browser, for example being able to inspect DOM and check network.

I'm curious, why remote debugging is not an option for you?

I’m not OP @svillar but for me it’d be faster feedback loop, always, as inspired by Bret Victor’s Inventing on Principle https://vimeo.com/38272912

Remote is possible but it’s a step further, forcing to remove the HMD and thus possibly not be in a state of flow.

Yup exactly what @Utopiah said (and he worded it better!)
