REACT DEV TOOL need a reload to appear

[elvince]

Hi all,

Thanks for the repo, it is quite straight forward to setup.

However, I can't get the tools to popup in the devtool page until I reload the main page.

If I await installExtension(REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS, true), the tools are not loaded at first launch, I need to reload them.
If I manually load them await session.defaultSession.loadExtension, evertyhing load fine from scratch.

Any idea how solve this?
Maybe a missing await in the installation process?
It seems to be a race condition.

Thanks

I am seeing this same issue as well with latest version of electron and electron-devtools-installer.

Did you manage to find a fix?

I am having this issue too.

session.defaultSession.getAllExtensions().map(e => {
  if (e.name === 'React Developer Tools') {
    session.defaultSession.loadExtension(e.path);
  }
});

This works, but should load automatically I think.

Seeing the same issue here. I simply run a reload after a timeout and it seems to do the trick

DEV && setTimeout(() => {
    mainWindow.reload();
}, 500);

    session.defaultSession.loadExtension(e.path);
  }
});

Why not just load all?

  session.defaultSession.getAllExtensions().map((e) => {
     session.defaultSession.loadExtension(e.path)
   })
