Dev Environment

Designed to be used with develop builds, the Dev Environment is a browser environment that emulates the Creative Suite preview page locally. Developers can speed up debugging times, test all Creative Suite Fields, and verify all code paths for Runtime Analysis before uploading their projects to Creative Suite more easily.

Enabling and disabling the Dev Environment​

The Dev Environment cannot be disabled but you can view an original page by appending /iframe.html to the end of the URL (for example: http://127.0.0.1:8000/ should be replaced with http://127.0.0.1:8000/iframe.html).

Differences between Dev Environment and Creative Suite preview​

The Dev Environment currently supports a limited number of features compared to Creative Suite.

The following features are NOT currently supported by the Dev Environment:

  • Creative versions
  • Reordering and renaming fields
  • Creating and renaming sections
  • Uploading assets (such as fonts, images, video and audio)

while the following features are supported by the Dev Environment:

  • Testing Creative Suite Fields to more easily check all code paths for Runtime Analysis.
  • By reloading the page or reopening it, changes made to fields are preserved.
  • An Enter / Exit Fullscreen button was added to the bottom-right corner, which hides / shows the Creative Suite interface.
