Problem Description

In my Electron app, I create a shared worker. When I have the devtools attached to the main renderer, I cannot debug the shared worker, and vice versa. It seems there can be only 1 instance of the devtools window at a time. This makes it hard to debug an operation that starts in the main renderer and continues in the worker.

Proposed Solution

Proposal is to open a new devtools windows for each worker. So there can be a devtools window attached to the main renderer, and separate devtools windows for any workers, all debuggable at the same time.

Alternatives Considered

This kind of debugging can be achieved by launching Electron with the --remote-debugging-port switch, and opening a url to debug workers as a workaround.
