The debugging flags #245

Closed pp-koch closed 1 year ago

pp-koch commented 2 years ago

Will the debugging flags continue to exist? In the old one they were:

localStorage.setItem('WM_DEBUG',true) for general debugging, but not the monetizationprogress event

localStorage.setItem('WM_DEBUG_PROGRESS',true) for the monetizationprogress event

localStorage.setItem('WM_POINTER_PROPERTY',true) to temporarily enable navigator.monetization.pointer = settable

I assume the third one will go away and the first one will remain. What about the monetization events? Will they retain a separate flag? Since they're the only thing left in the spec that web developers really need to monitor I propose that we do not retain a separate flag, but instead fold them into WM_DEBUG.

Underlying this, should we specify a testing mode?

Basically, it should be a specifically crafted SPSP JSON file or a special URL.

That URL would load and cause “monetization” events to fire periodically.

On the other hand, it would be pretty simple to mock all this with custom events.

Also, if we specify a testing mode we need a way to temporarily turn monetization off/on. Web devs will want to test in both modes. And should they be able to test as if monetization is on even when they aren't subscribed to Coil?

Coil extension no longer exists.
