I am working on a node.js API. We use typescript and I use Chrome dev tools for debuging. In the last day when I started the chrome node inspector it could not load my resource maps. I tried making a small mock project and it happened for that one too.
The warning it gives is DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for file://<path_to_source_map>: No setting registered: network.enable-unc-loading. I have the latest version of chrome 105 and I am on macOS 12.5.1.
I was thinking it might have something with mac permission but when I take the link to the file file://<path_to_source_map> and open it in browser it can open my file and I can add the file trough workspaces but it cannot link them even if I do it manually. I do not know if it is a chrome setting or what.
Any ideas ?
I've found this setting:
But this setting is not available in the Dev Tools console for Remote Targets so it didn't fix the issue.

Hello i'm using react and when i want to use debugger in my code adn see it via chrome it shows me only bundle.js in sources tab. How do i fix it. On my friends pc its looks normal on the same project. tried to check chrome options bun didnt fine anything usefull. at google i find only people with webpack but i didnt use it
Thanks to CherryDT. it happend becausesource maps disabled in your Devtools settings.
I have faced a problem for a long time in the chrome browser, the point is that when I open the console in the chrome browser and open the "Sources" item, my project folder is not displayed now in more detail
I am developing a React application and I often need to insert debuggers to check something when I run the application in the Microsoft Edge browser everything works well.
Please now pay attention to what is happening in the google chrome browser
What could be the problem?
I'm looking for a way to open the WebKit “developer tools” from a script attached to a web-page. I need solutions for both Google Chrome and Safari, that will open the developer-tools pane if it's not already open, and (hopefully, if you can figure out how) also switch to a particular tab/section of said pane upon opening.
(Use-case, if anyone's interested: I want to open the console.log output-window if there's been an error and a developer is looking at the page; this particular page will be the output of some JavaScript unit-tests.)
I'm setting a bounty on this question because it's obviously one that hasn't been answered to anyone's satisfaction before, and the answer is a hairy one. Please don't answer it unless you have a real answer that both: 1) works in both browsers, and 2) doesn't require private extension APIs that won't work from a static web-page.
See (related, but specific to Chrome, and extensions): Can I programmatically open the devtools from a Google Chrome extension?
Simply: You can't.
The Dev Tools are not sandboxed (unlike any web page), thus granting sandboxed environments the power to open and control an unsandboxed environment is a major security design flaw.
I hope this answers your question :-)
You cannot directly use the Chrome's Dev Tools from your web pages. It is bundled with the browser.
But you can use it like a regular web application. Go to Chrome Developer Tools, then go to Contributing. You will find help on using Dev Tools for your app.
Setting up
Install Chrome Canary on Mac OS / Windows or download the latest Chromium build from the Chromium continuous builds archive on Linux
Clone Blink git repo from https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink.git
Set up a local web server that would serve files from WebKit/Source/WebCore/inspector on some port (8090)
Running
Run one copy of Chrome Canary with the following command line flags: --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir=blink/chromeServerProfile --remote-debugging-frontend="http://localhost:8090/front_end/inspector.html". These flags cause Chrome to allow websocket connections into localhost:9222 and to serve the front-end UI from your local git repo. (Adjust the path to chromeServerProfile to be some writable directory in your system).
Open a sample page (eg www.chromium.org).
Run a second copy of Chrome Canary with the command line flag: --user-data-dir=/work/chromeClientProfile. Open http://localhost:9222. Among the thumbnails you will see the sample page from the other browser instance. Click on it to start remote debugging your sample page.
The DevTools web page that opens is served from the remote-debugging-frontend in the first browser instance, which serves from the git repo your local filesystem. Debug this Devtools Web page and edit its source like any other web app.
I hope this is what you need.
There's no way to control the web developer tool from an in-page script, other than through the Console API which provides mostly logging facilities. Letting scripts control more than that would be a serious security issue, since it would allow a web page to control parts of the browser.
The only API remotely related to what you're trying to do is the debugger command, which switches to the script pane only if the developer tools were already open.
But who are you trying to develop this feature for?
If it's for developers working on the site, then it's better to just use the existing developer tools manually, by setting breakpoints, or the pause on exceptions toggle.
If it's for end users, don't. Unless your site is supposed to be used by highly technical web developers, you're only going to scare away users if the developer tools suddenly pop up with errors.
If you really want to show errors you can implement your own logging framework and the UI for error reporting, which works with basic JS and doesn't depend on a specific browser environment.
here's another answer that proposes a solution to your mentioned use case/objective (detecting errors, getting & displaying console logs) and not the not possible objective in the title.
you can make and use a console wrapper and use it in your code
and/or you can monkey patch the console functions if you use/import external js, but you need to apply it before loading them.
No, Any secure Browser will not allow a script to open an extension, as it leads to insecurity.
But, You may design an Add-On/extension OR Console API's to do the same.. for specific site.
Create an Add-On like this to achieve that requirement.
You can try sending keys 'CTRL' + SHIFT' + 'I'
that may work for Chrome any FireFox (in I.E you need to use 'F12'
I am using it when required as few utils in this add-on use to work better then the built-in.
EDIT:
Now a days Chrome is advanced with many new advancements source.
I hope this helps!
Hate to answer such an old question, but was surprised to not see this as an answer, so I thought I'd add it in case it can help someone in the future.
Assuming you have access to the source code, you can place an alert("open devtools"); statement immediately before the first line you're interested in debugging. This alert will give you an opportunity to open DevTools and set a breakpoint on that first line before clearing the alert thus allowing the code to continue and hitting the breakpoint.
I'm trying to debug some controller code in an Angular application in WebStorm using Google Chrome.
My Debug Settings :
When running theses Debug settings :
1) Chorme flickers in the Taskbar as if it is trying to connect.
2) I don't see the Debugging Tab (Indication) usually shown at the top of the page (like a brownish header)
3) In WebStorm's Debugger window i get the following message
"cannot connect , ensure that Web Inspector is closed "
Additionally I was able to debug my code using Chrome development tools.
Any idea what is interfering the Webstorm's Debugger from connecting to Chrome ?
Have you installed "JetBrains IDE Support" extension for chrome?
if your web server is running in localhost:63342, try:
Setting the URL parameter to http:// localhost:63342
Bind your index.html file to http:// localhost:63342/index.html
If you have any question, please have a look to this post which describes how to debug Angular with Intellij, step by step:
http://ignaciosuay.com/how-to-debug-angularjs-with-intellij/
I encounter the same problem as you,but I have find the solution.You just lack a simple but important step,which is Overriding the default CORS settings.You can follow:
Right-click the JetBrains Chrome extension icon and choose Options
on the context menu. A web page with Chrome extension options opens
showing the parameters to connect to WebStorm.
Change the port which you can find in your WebStorm.Then,you can
debug your AngularJS app in the Chrome.
You also can see https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/help/using-jetbrains-chrome-extension.html
first check Jetbrains IDE Support install on your chrome then right click on icon go to option check port, I use routing in my angular application for this reason in URL of webstorm javascript debug not selected the specific html file just for example (http://localhost:63342/sampleproject/) write on urlbox then breakpoint in controllers worked . this solution worked for me
