URL to v8_inspector in the Windows console is inconvenient to copy #7141

+1 for this. Having the option to have the inspector opened automatically would be very useful. |
Very handy workaround from @cjihrig : https://github.com/continuationlabs/node-v8-inspector |
@vsemozhetbyt As a side note (since it's a generic problem when working with cmd in Windows): I'd recommend using ConEmu instead, as, among other things, it allows proper linear selection and copy and so on. Also, this is fixed in Windows 10 built-in console, but from the screenshots it looks like you're not using it, so might be not an option. |
@RReverser Thank you. I weighed in adoption of other console, but there are some forethoughts for me:
|
True, but, as I said above, default console has been fixed already. The issue here is rather that you might be using outdated version of Windows :) |
So, while Node.js supports Windows 7, somebody must be a test canary for the Windows 7 default console too :) |
FWIW I use Console2 which provides better copy&paste across lines and has been working very reliably for me. |
Seems like a |
May not be the most elegant solution, but as I found the process of copying and pasting the url every time a little clumsy (as well as refreshing etc...), I put together a little project this weekend: https://github.com/jaridmargolin/inspect-process People following this thread may find it helpful. |
Addressed this in #2546 but it's a closed issue, also in #9185 The following plugin helps in this case: It gives you the option of auto opening and closing the DevTools window in a tab or window. Just change the toggle from Manual to Auto and then start a debugging session. DevTools should open. And once you end your debugging session, DevTools will close. I was having the same issue a few days ago and wrote a Chrome extension to solve it. Would love any feedback. |
@jasnell there isn't a great way to find the Application Chrome/Chromium and fire it up across platforms. We could use |
@jasnell @bmeck - https://github.com/jaridmargolin/inspect-process uses selenium under the hood. Assuming there are a handful of reasons why you wouldn't want to put that into core. Additionally as for |
use this .bat file for running your debug process: mode con: cols=200 lines=25 |
@lacmuch Thank you. Personally, I've set something like that in default cmd window options. |
@vsemozhetbyt Should this remain open? |
I think not. The URL is shorter now and we have other ways to interact. Thank you. |
Selection in the default Windows console works in the block mode with line wrap replaced by line break in the copy.
A user can select a long URL with indentation only by selecting all the full lines:
On inserting in the address bar, the line break is replaced by
%20
and the URL becomes invalid:Currently a user has these workarounds:
Is there a way to address this inconvenience? Maybe a flag can be added to open the URL in the Chrome automatically.
