Helios - how to get it back once gone?

Let's say that I do have Helios popping up.

Nice.

Now if I close the window, how can I get it back?

More precisely, how can I get it back from the Javascript console in my web browser?

I've tried a couple of incantations but it looks like amber isn't even known.

require('amber_vm/smalltalk').Browser._open()

opens the old browser at the bottom.

On what can I call _popupHelios()?

require('amber/helpers').popupHelios()

In fact, require('amber/helpers') is what 'amber/devel', 'amber/deploy' and other loader sets are exporting (see support/devel.js, support/deploy.js), so the above is identical call to 'amber.popupHelios()' in the require callback.

Ok, works. Not super intuitive to figure out I'd say.

It shouldn't be figured out.
It should be clearly documented. :-)

You can do

require('amber/devel').popupHelios()

Cheers,

Oh. I didn't even think about this...
But of course it works. Just it should only be used for ad-hoc, or you will hard times when switch to amber/deplot or so...

Yep. But I thought about a one time thing in the js console :)

This is an FAQ (see mailing list archive) and it should go to the FAQ
section of the documentation. I opened
