GTInspector "too smart" for debugging :-(

In Moose, I have some problems with my sourceAnchors.
Because of these problems (bugs), sourceText does not work for these
entities

Unfortunatelly, when I try to inspect these faulty entities in
GTInspector (for debugging) it does not work because the first thing it
tries to do is compute all panes, including the one for sourceText which
is buggy :-(

Possible solutions:
- GTInspector's panes would gracefully fail and allow the inspector to
be displayed nevertheless
- Compute a pane when it is visible and only at that moment (but anyway,
failing gracefully would be nice. It is always better to be graceful)

Re: GTInspector "too smart" for debugging :-(

Currently, the evaluation of presentation blocks such as display: [ ... ] is lazy. However, if the inspector extension contains other code that is outside of blocks, that code will be computed all the time because it is considered to be presentation construction code.

Anyway, you are correct in that we need to get the inspector more bullet proof. You will notice that this kind of errors do not happen in Spotter, and we will apply the same rigor in the next inspector incarnation.

Cheers,

Doru
