How to open devTools after open a new tab?

[0604hx]

Hello, I want to open devTools after open a new tab, like this:

// background.js
chrome.tabs.create({ url }, tab=>{
    console.debug('tab opened, id=`, tab.id)
    // here to open devTools for the tab with some code
})

Thanks! 😄

I'm afraid there isn't currently an API to open DevTools. You could request this at https://crbug.com/, although I expect it may be an unlikely change since DevTools is a scary capability we don't necessarily want to expose to end users.

Do keep the feedback coming and feel free to use https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensions in the future.
