| File Manager Development Harness |
| ================================ |
| |
| The File Manager harness hosts file manager dialogs as a regular web page. It's |
| useful for development and manual unit testing. |
| |
| In order to use the harness, you must start chrome with the following |
| arguments: |
| chrome --allow-file-access-from-files --unlimited-quota-for-files |
| |
| To view the harness, visit: |
| file://PATH/TO/src/chrome/browser/resources/file_manager/harness.html |
| |
| This will display a "Open File" dialog by default. You can switch to another |
| kind of dialog using the links at the top of the page. |
| |
| Populating the development filesystem |
| ===================================== |
| |
| The "Save File" dialog type includes "New Folder" button. This can be used to |
| populate a few subdirectories for basic testing. |
| |
| The buttons at the bottom of the page allow you to add files to, or clear out |
| the mock filesystem. (This is the filesystem associated with all file: urls.) |
| |
| The Choose File button (from the bottom of the page) does not support importing |
| a hierarchy of directories. If you would like to bulk import a hierarchy, use |
| the squashdir.py script located in file_manager/bin/squashdir.py. This will |
| copy a tree of files into a single directory, renaming them all to include |
| their original path. The Choose File button will reconstitute these munged |
| filenames back into their original structure. |
| |
| Poking at the File Manager |
| ========================== |
| |
| From the JS Console, you can refer to the fileManager object as |
| `harness.fileManager`. |
