描述
I'm often faced with one of the following questions:
* Why does this text look like this? (E.g. why is it gray even though I don't tell it to be gray anywhere?)
* Why doesn't this text react to changes in `TextTheme`?
* Where is this text style attribute coming from, exactly?
Text style comes from an inherited widget called `DefaultTextStyle`. In complex apps, there are several layers of `DefaultTextStyle`, and `Text` merges them all into the final style.
In the IntelliJ Flutter inspector (before DevTools integration), it was possible to show the RenderObject/Element tree, and from there, the developer was able to see the `debugLabel`. It was not perfect, but — as far as I know — it was the only way to debug issues like the ones listed above.
DevTools doesn't have a RenderObject/Element tree (https://github.com/flutter/devtools/issues/636), and afaik there is no other way to get to this information.

For what it's worth, I don't think the "go to the Element tree" method was the best developer experience. If we can surface this information better, that would be amazing. Like, in the widget tree above, I can imagine showing information about the `Text`'s current `TextStyle`'s `debugLabel` somewhere in that tree.
贡献指南
调研方向
首先查看 DevTools Flutter inspector,以及关于缺少 RenderObject/Element 树的关联 DevTools issue 636。完成的标准是为开发者提供更清晰的方式来检查继承的 DefaultTextStyle 值,例如在 widget 树中公开 TextStyle debugLabel。
由索引模型根据 Issue 内容生成。
