Debugger Attached during development

[Brendan Buono]

Hey folks,

I'm curious as to if there is any documentation around attaching a debugger to an extension while developing. I haven't been able to find anything, and it's been a hindrance as a start out.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Brendan,

Would you mind saying a bit more about what you're looking for?

We have some general tips on debugging extensions here: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/tut_debugging/. You can set breakpoints just like you can with an ordinary website.

If you mean attaching a debugger that is running externally, such as in your IDE, this isn't something I've played with or we have documentation for. It might be possible, but I genuinely don't know!

Hey Olivier,

I did mean an external debugger, sorry for the ambiguity! Thanks for the information; I've been using the chrome dev tools, I just have my VSCode debugging setup in a way I like to use :).

I'll play around with attaching it to Chrome and see if that works, thanks!
