Connect via extension ( chrome.debugger )

[sidorares]

It's not easy to enable debugger currently via --remote-debugging-port switch ( command line, need browser restart etc etc ). This should be simpllified

• create extension that proxy all commands/events using https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/debugger . Need to connect initially to local server ( acting as a bus )
• add server to crconsole
• modify devtools client to support this transport

Wish this feature can be implemented. This seems to be the only possible way to do REPL driven development in terminal.

Update: I tried to use crmux to access a page tab from both chrome devtools and terminal. Hope to set a breaking point by devtools. But it can still only work with devtools or the crconsole.

extensions still require exclusive access ( e.i when you open devtools extension is disabled ):

Opening embedded Developer Tools will terminate the remote connection and thus detach the extension.

What was the problem with crmux? I'm able to use crconsole and devtools both connected to crmux simultaneously

re original issue - it's high on my priority list, but unfortunately very busy with other things right now

Thanks for the explanation. I thought to use crmux to bypass the restriction.
