.--json
option--filters=[path-to-filters.txt]
where the filters text file has a series of @ALLOW
and/or @DENY
lines. See example-tree-filters.txt in tools/accessibility/inspect.Run these scripts to avoid the difficulty of looking up the process id or window handle you want to inspect. Sometimes there may be several windows open for the given app, and disambuation. In this case, after you run the script, it will list top level windows/processes and ask you to re-run with an argument that includes a substring from the window title you want to inspect the tree/events for. For example, chrome-tree live
will inspect a tab with the name “Live region tests” (the title matcher is case insensitive).
