Gnome Extension Debugger "Lookingglass" missing?

I am creating a simple Gnome extension and read on the Gnome website that there is a Firebug-like debugger built in, called Looking glass, which can be launched with `Alt-F2` an then typing `lg`. But this doesn't work, at least in Arch. I can't find mention of Lookingglass in the gnome-shell package or anywhere else. Can someone shed some light? Is Lookingglass defunct and the website just hasn't caught up?

works for me.
is there anything interesting in journal after you've tried to launch it?

Would that just be journalctl -f? No output there. ~/.cache/gdm/session.log doesn't exist, I assume because it's logging to the journal.

The runner just displays "Command not found" for lg, and also for r and rs.

I'm wondering if I'm missing a package with those commands. Seems like gnome-shell should include them since it has other developer tools like gnome-shell-extension-tool, -perf-tool, etc.

Evidently my system had a config flag set away from the default value, as suggested here.

gsettings set org.gnome.shell development-tools true

enabled lg etc.
