Viewing the offscreen documents console

[Eric B]

Hi,

I was wondering how I can view the console for the offscreen document I created? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Partial Solution: Write your code in a popup script and make sure it works and then put it in the offscreen document script (This is what worked for me)

You can open a DevTools window for the offscreen document by either using chrome://extensions or chrome://inspect.

The extension's detail view on the chrome://extensions page will show a list of contexts that you can inspect.

The chrome://inspect page shows a wide variety of contexts that you can debug. You'll find offscreen documents listed in the "Other" category. You can begin debugging one of these contexts by clicking the "inspect" link.

Looks like there is a bug in Stable that prevents DevTools from showing the offscreen document, but this has already been fixed. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1449162
