CEF keeps several stable branches going in parallel. In a CEF version number like 3.1547.1459, 1547 is the branch number and 1459 is the SVN revision number (which increments when any branch is updated). These numbers are not connected to the Chromium version number.

What CEF version is Brackets using?

Look in brackets-shell/Gruntfile.js and find the "cef": { "version" : "...." } declaration (near bottom).

What Chromium version is Brackets using?

When issues appear with a new version of CEF, it can be hard to tell is the issue is due to CEF, Chromium, or some other factor. One way to find out is to run the same code in different environments:

Loading other webpages in brackets-shell

This lets you compare simple testcases (such as a JSFiddle, or a CodeMirror demo page) in Chrome vs. brackets-shell.

  1. In dev tools, run window.location="..."
  2. Compare to the same URL running in Chrome
Running Brackets outside brackets-shell

This lets you compare most of Brackets core in Chrome vs. brackets-shell.

  1. Checkout the pflynn/in-browser-file-system branch
  2. Point a simple local webserver (like serf) at the Brackets src folder.
  3. First, verify that this still repros the issue in brackets-shell: run window.location="localhost:8080/index.html" in dev tools to load this in brackets-shell
  4. Next, load localhost:8080/src/index.html in Chrome also

"cefclient" is a bare-bones reference app that uses CEF. This lets you see if a bug is due to brackets-shell customizations vs. core CEF.

  1. Go to http://cefbuilds.com/
  2. Find the exact version of CEF that matches the version Brackets is integrating (you may have to click the gray "More revisions" link)
  3. Click the "Test App" link to download the matching cefclient build
  4. Unzip and run (no installer needed). Now you can...

Note: your version of cefclient will rarely be an exact match for the current stable version of Chrome, so this isn't a perfect test (there are two variables that differ: CEF vs. Chrome, and Chromium version slightly differs).

Testing in-browser with special flags

Brackets-shell doesn't configure CEF/Chromium engine exactly the same as a normal browser does. For example, GPU acceleration is disabled and on some OSes process security sandboxing is also disabled.

For testing, you can launch Chrome with flags to make it behave more like brackets-shell:

  1. Create an empty folder somewhere on disk to act as a throwaway Chrome user profile
  2. On the command prompt, run:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir=<<absolute path to empty folder>> <<add extra flags here>>
    

    -or-
    /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --user-data-dir=<<absolute path to empty folder>> <<add extra flags here>>
    
  3. This will not interfere with your normal running copy of Chrome
