Remote debugging does not work

[chen...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I followed the instruction in the below link to configure 2 instances
of Chrome (14.0.814.0 dev-m) on Windows 7 - one instance running with
switch --remote-debugging-port=9222, the one instance opens http://localhost:9222.
It always failed with page unresponsive error dialog.

http://code.google.com/chrome/devtools/docs/remote-debugging.html

netstat -a shows there are 4 established TCP connections between port
9222 and other local ports.

Any idea what could go wrong? Was remote debugging tested on Windows
7?

Thanks in advance,
Rebecca

Hi,

Sanity check -- can you please confirm that you are using a separate
profile for the second Chrome instance (by specifying --user-data-dir
argument)?

Yes, that was the problem. It works fine after I used different
profile. Thanks!

I think it would be helpful if the example on
http://code.google.com/chrome/devtools/docs/remote-debugging.html#remote
had this explanation about different --user-data-dir values.

(I'd fix it myself if I knew where...)

Since the intention of remote debugging is to, well, debug remotely and not within the same computer, you should not need this flag.

If you use remote debugging within the same computer, this is an 'advanced' (and maybe even not officially supported) feature.

I think John is right. We use "localhost" address in the
aforementioned description, and this will require passing
--user-data-dir. I will fix it.
