Chrome Inspect ://#devices without internet access

[Matan Kastel]

I had been using the "chrome://inspect/#devices", when clicking "inspect" resulted in a white page. The problem seemed to be that as I happened to have no network connection at the time, chrome couldn't access some repository and so didn't load the page. 

After chrome visited this page, I no longer needed an internet connection to inspect my phone.

I have to migrate my project onto a computer which sits behind a firewall (which I have no access to) which is stopping navigation to the "chrome-devtools-appspot" link to pull whatever it needs to generate the page when I click on "inspect".

Is there a way to somehow download this repository and make it available locally on the machine so that regardless of what phone / browser version I use, the inspect page does not depend on an internet connection?

Remote access shouldn't be required to run this page. However, have you tried going through the DevTools directly? Overflow Menu (Three dots beside the close button) > More Tools > Remote Devices

What is the "repository" that it is requesting? Depending on existing tabs, it may be making a call out to get a render preview I think. (Haven't used it in a while, can't recall exactly how it looks.)

Devtools uses a remote front-end if you are inspecting remote devices (like phones), so yes an internet connection is required to get the initial front-end for the device to be able to inspect it. However, you should only need to do this the first time, any subsequent inspects on the same device (assuming the hash does not change) should be able to use the cached version from previous fetch.

I'm suffuring the same problem. In my situation, our network doesn't have the access to visit the server at appspot.com that providing the files remote debbuging requires. Therefore, I'm looking for a solution can host these files locally. Especially, I'm looking for a universal version of devtools that can serve all versions (at least most of the versions) of different android webviews.

How to setup such a local devtools mirror, or to embded it into some kind of custom build toolkit, that's my key question. Is there a way to achieve this? Is there any possibility to do this? Can anyone figure me a clue? Thanks alot~~~
