Service worker - developer tools now showing Local Storage

[Don Schmitt]

I'm using chrome.storage.local.set and chrome.storage.local.get in my service worker and they are working, but when I view Application.Local Storage in the dev tools I'm not seeing anything.

Am I missing something?

chrome.storage.local and window.localStorage are entirely different and separate storage APIs.

This is explained here: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/storage/#overview

So...are there no developer tools for viewing data stored at chrome.storage.local?

You can use the console, simply execute this:

```

await chrome.storage.local.get()

```

That's what I use. You can't edit the values but for viewing it's ok.

Use this extension to view `chrome.storage` data https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/storage-area-explorer/ocfjjjjhkpapocigimmppepjgfdecjkb

I believe this extension doesn't work with service workers. Or at least it doesn't work for my team...

"but when I view Application.Local Storage in the dev tools I'm not seeing anything. "

With MV3 extension, localStorage can be view only inspecting an extension page but not the service worker (don't ask me why)

If you have not a extension page you can inspect  the manifest fiile  chrome-extension://<your_extension_id>/manifest.json
