@GeetaSarvadnya this may be intentional

@pilgrim-brave would this be happening because remote debugging was disabled with #1736 ?

pilgrim-brave · 2019-08-13T16:16:18Z

Very likely.

GeetaSarvadnya · 2019-08-20T15:22:35Z

Click on inspect fallback opens up devtool.

rebron · 2019-08-20T18:34:37Z

We want to re-enable this by proxy. Does this sound ok? @diracdeltas

How to Clean or upgraded profile?????

jstebenne · 2019-11-01T14:06:56Z

Any idea when we can get this feature back? Removing this is an absolute dealbreaker for most developers (including myself).

I feel like this was disabled for no good reason. At least let us decide if we want to download an extra package from Google but have it disabled by default.

bsclifton · 2019-11-05T05:03:30Z

@jumde this would be a great one for you to check out, when you have cycles 😄 (noticed you had already self-assigned). I think the big problem was that files are being fetched remotely. We can likely proxy those... and/or we could put this feature behind a flag

PR that disabled this: brave/brave-core#790

neuronetio · 2019-11-14T16:04:45Z

Please re-enable remote debug 😢

diracdeltas · 2019-11-17T04:21:43Z

@rebron i think we should re-enable this with proxy (sorry for the delay)

diracdeltas · 2019-11-17T04:22:21Z

actually enabling behind a flag would be fine if this is easier

nicholasengleman · 2019-11-17T16:18:51Z

I am a developer and will be switching back to chrome till there is a way for me to re-enable this. This breaks the Lighthouse Audit for me and who knows what else. I had previously been recommending Brave to other developers but not anymore. When I'm developing, I can't risk any issues coming from my tools and making debugging even more complicated.

nicholasengleman · 2019-11-17T16:26:32Z

This is an absolute deal breaker for any developer. Will be moving back to chrome and not recommending brave to any more developers till we can re-enable this.

salmankhilji · 2019-11-17T22:50:12Z

+1. Please bring this feature back.

bsclifton · 2019-11-20T00:15:11Z

Taking a look at this now... I believe we'll be able to add a config flag for this (defaulted to OFF) which allows you to opt-in to the feature. I can make sure a clear log happens in case it's disabled (to make it more obvious). We'll need to have this go through security review too

Default for this is FALSE (meaning remote debugging is disabled). Setting is global (using local_state), not per-profile. Fixes brave/brave-browser#5640 Fixes brave/brave-browser#3199

bsclifton · 2019-11-25T22:17:39Z

Fixed! Will be in our next Nightly (1.3, which is due to ship Feb 4th). We may uplift to 1.2 (Dev, shipping Jan 6th) if there's enough support for it and if no problems are discovered 😄

salmankhilji · 2019-11-27T02:04:50Z

I confirm that this works with Nightly 1.33.3 against a WebView running in React Native on a Nexus 6P device.

Thank you!
