Edge Inspect doesn't even lanch

No crash report, no message, no visible sign of it running in the task manager (or whatever the force quit window is called).
Mac OS Mavericks, MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2010
Is there any logs I can find to submit or something I can try?
I connected an iPhone, just in case it needs an IOS device connected to even launch, no success.
Thanks.

Ah. Answered my own Q. You need to download a Chrome add-on in order to use Edge Inspect:
Chrome Web Store
And then you
"Install the Edge Inspect app on your iOS and/or Android device"
And here's the relevant help page to continue the process:
Browser testing across devices with Adobe Edge Inspect | Adobe Developer Connection

Adobe Edge Inspect doesn't start

I installed Abode Edge Inspect on my Macbook Air, running 10.8.2 and when I launch the app nothing appears in the dock.
When watching the activity monitor, sorted by CPU useage, every time I launch the app the process "report crash" moves to the top and then the next second it's gone.
Any suggestions on getting the app running?

You won't see anything in your Dock when you start Edge Inspect.
Instead, you should see a new icon with the letters "In" in your menu bar (top-right of your screen, to the left of the clock).
Do you see this icon?
If so, click on it and you should be able to Sign In (if you're not already). You can then set up the remaining components of Edge Inspect to get started testing your content: http://www.adobe.com/go/edgeinspect_ig
If you do not see this icon, then we may want to check in Console (under /Applications/Utilities) to see if there is a crash or error log.

Edge Inspect not compatible with HP Slade 7

I tryed to install Edge Inspect on my new HP Slade 7 but Google Play tells me it is not compatible :-(
Why is it not supported and will it be in the near future?
Regards,
Pieter

Hi Pieter,
Sorry Edge Inspect doesn't work with the HP Slate 7. I'm not sure why it's not compatible... we don't control what devices are listed as compatible with Edge Inspect, we simply update the manifest file with the Android features we're using and the Android store decides which devices are or are not compatible based on the manifest file. We can't test on every possible device device out there, and the HP Slate is one we've never had a chance to try.
One of the features we use that has caused problems with other devices in the past is location services (which we include because they might be required by pages users want to look at in Edge Inspect). Does your device support GPS/location services?
Regardless, you might still be able to put Edge Inspect onto your device and give it a try to see if it will work despite what the Android store says. Check out this article on sideloading http://www.androidcentral.com/what-sideloading-android-z and see if that can help you out.
Other than that, without knowing why the Android store is saying the Slate isn't compatible, there's nothing we can do on our side to try and make sure we're compatible with it.
Hope this helps,
Mark

How can I access Edge Inspect from my Creative Cloud account?

In the Edge FAQ it is stated, that all Edge apps are available for free (with certain restrictions). It is also said that those free versions are not limited to a certain timeframe, but I need a free Creative Cloud subscription to access them.
Edge Inspect doesn't appear in my apps tab though. And I cannot activate a free Creative Cloud subscription either, because that is limited to 30 days.
My question is, if I can use the free version of Edge Inspect. If yes, how? If no, why is there a free version that no one can use for free, only evaluate for 30 days?

Does you computer meet the Tech Specs for Adobe Edge Inspect http://html.adobe.com/edge/inspect/tech-specs.html?

Edge Inspect not working for domain.dev URL's running locally on my laptop, displays error message.

"An error occured
Web page not availiable".
This, printed on a white screen, on my iphone5 (OSX and iOS all running latest updates, latest Adobe Edge Inspect, freshly downloaded) is all I see when I try to visit any of the sites I run on my laptop with Apache.
I set up my domains as "http://foobar.dev" (where '.dev' is the TLD on my localhost for things ... local).
I can view any public internet sites, and they will show up on Edge Inspect on my phone, with no problem.
I've tested this with turning off the firewall on my computer... (but I'm surprised thats how edge works, but what ever).
Any guides? tricks? help?
Thanks.

Edge Inspect doesn't do anything different to read the website off your computer than a normal browser does. We send a URL to the connected devices and expect them to be able to load that address into the WebView/UIWebView components in the Edge Inspect app on the devices.The reason you're seeing an issue with Edge Inspect and your http://foobar.dev site is the same reason why you wouldn't/shouldn't expect to type that URL into a browser on another machine and be able to view the website... there's no external DNS server to talk to that knows where that address is actually located.
So, Edge Inspect might be doing less than you thought is was in those terms. The main focus of Edge Inspect really is:
1. Managing the connection from your computer to multiple connected devices
2. Translating localhost, 127.0.0.1, and <machinename>.local urls
3. Keeping multiple devices in sync
4. Simplifying things like cache clearing and screenshots on all your devices
5. Providing a simple interface into weinre for remote inspection
Definitely read more on xip.io. It's a public website, yes. We don't have anything to do with it, but it does provide a nice workflow for using virtual hosts with Edge Inspect.

How does Edge Inspect emulate on device?

I'm not asking how to hook everything up and get what I'm seeing on my desktop to show on my connected device. I've got that part down.
Basically, I'm trying to decide between building a web app and building a hybrid app. For design and QA testing purposes, I'm trying to figure out how Edge Inspect is rendering the device. I know the Chrome extension has to be installed for this all to work, so is it displayed on the device with Chrome's rendering engine? Or is Edge Inspect tapping into the device's OS rendering?
This matters because a web app would require testing on various mobile browsers for a consistent experience, but a hybrid app would require just testing on a few different OS that you choose to support. If Edge Inspect is emulating more like an app would, I will most likely go with a hybrid app. If not, I plan to try the web app route.
Tips and advice are appreciated! Thanks!

Edge Inspect doesn't emulate. In both of our device clients we've built in the appropriate web components (WebView - Android / UIWebView - iOS) and display the web pages in those components.
So, when you browse to a URL in Chrome, we grab that URL and send it to the connected devices. On the device we take the URL, tell the web component to browse to it and display it, and we do the injecttion of javascript for remote inspection, etc. Edge Inspect doesn't do any rendering, we leave it up to the web components. Mostly what the clients do is manage & remember the connection, handle commands from the Chrome extension, inject javascript, and take screenshots of the page.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Submit form doesn't work in edge Inspect

I have a contact form in my web and when i submit a form that doesn't work in edge inspect. Edge Inspect after a short time program stops working unfortunately. Form is not submitting and email also is not send. I have a form and i use AJAX to send form data with email to client.

To be clear, where are you clicking the send button, in Chrome or on your Galaxy 2? And the application on the phone locks up? For example, you can't click the button in the upper right and see the menu?
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
Ok
Give this a try... open the page up in Chrome and wait for it to show up on your phone. Without clicking the send button, press the button in the upper right corner of the Edge Inspect client on your phone and choose the "Open in Browser" option. That will open a new window in the native browser on your device. When your page shows up there, click the "Send" button and tell us whether it works or not and describe what happens.
Also, can you zip up the necessary code to repro this problem and send it to me at mrausch (at) adobe (dot) com ?
Thanks,
Mark

Edge Inspect CC doesn't work!

Hello,
Adobe Edge Inspect CC doesn't work properly (see the pic below):
My System:
Chrome:
Nexus 5:
What can I do for the solution of this situation?

It can be due to multiple issues. Please ensure the following:
The desktop application is running on your computer and you are signed with Adobe ID there.
Ensure that your computer and your device are on the same network.
Port 7682 is available on your computer for use by Edge Inspect.
Network settings allow communication on port 7682. You may need to talk to your IT department to determine that.

Adobe Edge Inspect App won't launch on MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.5

Hi there,
I can't get Edge Inspect to launch on my MacBook Pro. It works fine on my iMac with the same OS.
We I click on the launcher icon nothing happens (it doesn't even bounce on the dock).
Any idea what's causing this?
Thank you,
Giuseppe.

Edge Inspect desktop has no UI and only Inspect icon will be visible in the menu bar. Also, you need to be logged in with Adobe ID in the app.

Edge inspect not working on VMware hosted iis sites.

I use a Mac, and run Windows 7 on VMware Fusion (latest). I'm running a website in iis from .net 2010. Everything runs fine and displays in every browser.
Even when I'm in Chrome/Safari on the Mac, I can view the site by going to the Windows IP address. However, when I'm running Edge Inspect it doesn't display the iis hosted site. It shows everything else.
Does edge inspect support tunnelling through to a virtual host on a virtual machine?
Hope this makes sense.

Hi Mark,
This is a scenario I don't think we've ever specfically tested. We know we can get to locally hosted web pages with Edge Inspect and we know we can also get to virtual host sites as well if you make use of xip.io or Charles Proxy
http://blogs.adobe.com/edgeinspect/2012/06/19/shadow-xip-io-virtual-hosts-workflow-simplif ied/
http://blogs.adobe.com/edgeinspect/2012/05/16/shadow-charles-proxy-virtual-hosts-workflow/
You don't quite explicitly say it, but I'm guessing you've tried using the IP address in Chrome and Edge Inspect can't get to that, correct? Could you give xip.io a shot and see if that helps at all?
Meanwhile I'll try checking with the team to see if anyone knows whether or not we can support your scenario.

Is there a local install version of Edge Inspect?

I work in a corporate environment that blocks access Adobe CC. We have the Adobe Master Suite CS6. Can I still get a local installation version of Edge Inspect?
Message was edited by: joshvito

Can you explain what you mean by "Adobe CC is not available in my work environment"?
If you can reach this web page https://creative.adobe.com/products/inspect you should be able to download and install Edge Inspect. That's the only place it's available for download, and it only requires that you have an Adobe ID, which you do since you can post on the forums here.
Are you unable to reach our weinre server, or can you explain specifically doesn't work for you?
Thanks,

Adobe Edge Inspect not syncing on ios devices?

Hiya,
Just trialing Edge Inspect at work. It works excellently on my Galaxy SII, but it doesn't work so well on any ios devices we have in the office, including ipads 1,2,3 and iphones 4/4S/5 (running ios5 and 6). I can get the page to sync initially but it then refuses to follow my changes from Chrome forcing me to manually refresh the desktop client or the device... which makes the whole process a little frustrating.
I'm wondering if it is possibly network related, but if so... why does it work so well on an Android device? It doesnt matter what site i look at, so i know its not a matter of page load.
Any advice, further suggestions are welcome.
Cheers
R

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the response! Sorry for the delayed reply. I was waiting to be able to be near the same people again with the various iPhones but I haven't been able to hook up with them at this time. Probably later next week.
See response to your questions below:
To make sure I understand, you are connecting these devices to a server they are auto-discovering, right?
Yes. Although, I had to manually put the IP into the older Kindle Fire and one of the other Android devices. I can't remember if it was the Galaxy Tab or Nexus 7 ( I believe it was the Nexus).
You've got at least 8 other devices that you're not having any problems with?
Yes.
Do your iPhone 4 & 5 devices display any error when you try to connect?
No errors
Are you sure your devices are all on the same network as your computer?
Yes. There are actually multiple networks. We tried switching to another network to no effect. This is after shutting down the app on Master and the slaved devices.
Can you browse to a simple webpage like google.com and have the devices follow along, or do those devices not synch browse to ANY web pages?
We didn't do the google test but we did go to another site. mrtestsite.com as well as azimba.com. Browsed multiple pages on each site.
If it's only a specific web page, what's the URL of that page?
See above
Can you check your computer for any firewall software and make sure it's disabled?
Didn't do that. Will try that again next time. Running it on the MacBook Air (10.7.5). Firewall is set to Limit Connections to Specific Devices and the EdgeInspect.applicaiton is set to Allow all Connections there.
Can you try uninstalling from the iPhones, removing all the app data, and reinstalling?
Did not do that. Will try. These were fresh installs from the app store.
What version of iOS is running on each of those devices?
Not sure. I'll check with them when I see them. Two of them are major tech heads so I'm pretty sure they're running the latest version of iOS for iPhone.
The irony of this is that I was going to be demoing the Inspect tool at an LA tech job fair sponsored by Adobe so it would be nice to resolve this issue.

Chrome Edge Inspect Extension never connects

The Adobe Edge Inspect Chrome extension doesn't work. Instead the extension continue to try to connect to the server. I came across this post, hoping for a fix. My inspect.js file doesn't contain the 'shadow' parameter

Is Adobe Edge Inspect compatible with Safari?

Currently, I am only able to get Chrome working through the Google Chrome Extension. If it is compatible with Safari, how would I configure it to work? Thank you.

Hi Alistair,
I'm not entirely sure if you're referring to Safari on your computer or Safari on your iPad, so I'll answer for both:
If you meant Safari on your computer, the answer is no. But since we just released the Edge Inspect API (http://blogs.adobe.com/edgeinspect/2013/06/18/introducing-the-edge-inspect-javascript-api/) that's something you can do yourself if you'd prefer to test from Safari. As far as that being a better test bed, the browser you're testing from really doesn't make a difference for how the pages will appear on your devices. We simply send the URL from the browser to the devices, rather than sending the page contents, so all rendering is controlled by the device.
If you meant Safari on your iPad, well, the answer is also no, but for a different reason. We're making use of the UIWebView component because by embedding that component in our application we have much greater control over it and can implement customizations like screenshots, remote inspect, cache clearing, and things like that to make Edge Inspect more fully featured. UIWebView and Safari are both based on WebKit, and we've configured the UIWebView component to behave as much like Safari as possible. At this point in time we know of no rendering differences between the two, the only differences we're aware of are performance-related... Safari is faster than the UIWebView component. Since we'd essentially need to cripple/remove a number of features to make Edge Inspect work with Safari, there are no plans to make that happen.
Hope this helps,
Mark
