Question: Where to find the Expression Watcher? #2877

Open chetstone opened 2 years ago

chetstone commented 2 years ago

I noticed in the docs that the Logs plugin is supposed to have an expression watcher. That's just what I need, but I can't find it!! The screenshot shows it in the right sidebar, but I don't have a right sidebar. In the left sidebar there are icons to toggle the left and right sidebar, but the right sidebar toggle doesn't do anything.

Flipper Desktop Macos v. 0.110.0, react-native, using android only with FLIPPER_VERSION set to 0.105.0 (apparently the latest) in gradle.properties and react-native-flipper v. 0.110.0

Hi! The screenshot is currently outdated, and the feature hasn't been restored when we rewrote the plugin a while ago. We noticed that the feature was only used a few times per year (internally) and figured that filtering / per column filters largely fill the same need.

Thanks for the reply. Is there another way to generate a notification when an expression is matched? When I click on the Notification button on the left it brings up a search bar and a settings button. The search bar doesn't seem to search anything and the settings button brings up a pane that says "no blocklisted plugins" and "no blocklisted categories". What does "blocklisted" mean and how do you set up a notification?

No there is currently no replacement for that functionality.
