STRs: - go to https://juliandescottes.github.io/webcomponents-playground/simple/ - open devtools - select element picker - try to pick "after-slot1-container" in the first block => markup view thinks some nodes were hidden (see markup view screenshot)
Product: Firefox → DevTools
Made progress here. This bug is a mix of two issues: 1/ creating the form of a shadow host element desynchronizes the nodes maps stored by the inspector front and by the walker actor. This is linked to this other bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1446302. Short summary is that to know the number of children of a shadow host, we call Walker::children(). This will store all the children of the shadow host in the map of "known nodes". But this map should actually only contain nodes that are known AND have been sent to the client. Otherwise the server will skip them during future calls. "This node is already in my map, so the client probably already knows about it, skipping." To address that, either call children() in a special mode that avoids putting the nodes in the actor's map or re-architect the walker actor so that everytime we happen to discover nodes, we make sure to return them as part of the current request. 2/ the walker can fetch children centered around a given node, but this fails in some situations when the node is inside a shadow root. Haven't investigated this part in more details for now.

Can you check if this has any affect on XBL inspection (for better or worse)? For instance, if I go to about:preferences and then try to inspect the "downloads" dropdown (in Files and Applications section) I usually get missing nodes (see also Bug 1360072). Not exactly the same symptom but I wonder if these changes touch the same underlying problems.
I think it definitely improves picking elements on about:preferences! Without the patch: I can't really get the markupview to show incorrect "more" buttons on the current Nightly, but I often pick elements and see no selection in the inspector. Consequently, I often see "empty lines" in the markup view, which is another thing that can happen when a node is desynchronized between the cache of the actor and the cache of the front. With the patch: I was always able to pick the elements I selected in the page. No empty lines either.

No empty lines either. Nice! I didn't have much luck tracking this down in Bug 1360072 - maybe a fix here can close that one out as well.

Also, I don't love that we are essentially duplicating logic from the NodeActor `isShadowRoot` / `isBeforePseudoElement` / `isAfterPseudoElement` functions in this patch series. It happens that these are pretty trivial checks so I'm OK to make the change to fix this bug. But we could also think about flipping this around so these types of checks live in devtools/shared/layout/utils like `is*Anonymous` functions that take in a raw node, and then either: 1) Remove the getters on the NodeActor and update any server-side callers with utility function calls 2) Replace the implementation of these getters to call along to the utility function. There's a whole set of `is*` getters that could be switched to this pattern, rather than doing it one by one as we want to use them for rawNodes: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/14cb8f1c238735ba1abe18ad44e39808983c2572/devtools/server/actors/inspector/node.js#120-128 I'm not sure if we should make this change, so looking for your opinion on it.

I did this as a shortcut, but I'll try to clean this up in this patch and move as much as I need to layout/utils. As a follow up I think it's worth checking the platform walker could return the shadowRoot when we fetch the parentNode of a node that _has_ the shadowRoot as its parentNode. After all we set all { showAnonymousContent, showSubDocuments, showDocumentsAsNodes } flags to true in this case for our walker, so if it's not too complex to implement I think it would make sense for the deep tree walker to return the shadow root in such a case.

Done! This actually makes the whole thing much simpler as we no longer need to extract rawParentNode() from parentNode(), we don't have to change the ensurePathToRoot logic either. Thanks for the suggestion!

Regarding part7, I added this new parentOrHost() method, which I believe we should probably use in more and more spots. But if that's ok I'd like to leave that to Bug 1472142 because the patch queue here starts to grow a bit big.

Why or why not? It makes sense to use ensureParentFront (maybe we should rename it to a more generic ensureDomNodeFront in this case).

I actually forgot we discussed so much about this one! While using the method once again here, my thinking was that "direct child" was a bit redundant, since a child is by definition always "direct" - otherwise it's a descendant. I guess here we used it to emphasize the difference with children in the shadowDOM. I'll drop the commit for now.
