Status of @babylonjs/inspector-legacy package

Hello!

The documentation at Babylon.js/packages/public/@babylonjs/inspector/readme.md at master · BabylonJS/Babylon.js · GitHub says it should be possible to install a “legacy” BabylonJS inspector via npm install ... @babylonjs/inspector-legacy. But it seems that there is no published package with such name.

Could someone please clarify if @babylonjs/inspector-legacy is indeed an Inspector V1 which is supposed to work with BabylonJS 9.x, and if it is going to be (or already has been) published?

Thank you!

That doc is incorrect, and I’ll follow up with folks to get it fixed (though it is not published anywhere, it is only a legacy doc within the repo).

The only way we currently publish the legacy inspector is to the Babylon CDN (the umd bundle only), and we currently do not plan to publish any more legacy inspector packages to npm.

Our plan is to completely remove the legacy Inspector after allowing some time for folks to transition to v2 and for any missed bugs/features to surface. Are you running into something that prevents you from using v2?

Thank you for the answer!

It’s nothing too critical, just that Inspector V2 has a lot of dependencies which are relatively large (e.g. @fluentui packages), so we need to think how to keep it separate from the main application install and build. One idea was to still upgrade to 9.x but use V1 in the meantime, but if that isn’t supposed to work, we’re going to stay on 8 for just a little bit longer.

P.S We probably should’ve done this earlier with V1 still, just never had time to :upside_down_face:
