Working on a React project. The web preview loads fine, but the chrome DevTools doesn’t load. Any tips on how to fix it?
Thanks!
Are you trying to hit localhost/127.0.0.1 in your browser?
If you go to the IDX extension tab, there is a “backend port” section at the bottom - you can open the app there. (maybe?)
Gotchya. Try doing it manually.
export PORT=(YOUR PORT)
export MY_SERVICE="https://$PORT-$WEB_HOST"
echo $MY_SERVICE
Then manually start your app from the CLI, once loaded click the link you echoed out and see if it worked.
This just opens a new browser window, not the associated DevTools panel.
Thanks for reporting this, it’s a known issue that we’re working on fixing. I’ll update here once we have a fix out. Sorry for the inconvenience this is causing in the meantime.
