Handle the debugger detaching in chrome extension












0














In accordance with the Debugger DevTools API, there is no debugger detach event. Can I catch the event for detaching the debugger when the user clicking "cancel" e.g.?



Sample code for attach:



chrome.debugger.attach(
{
tabId: tabId
},
'1.3',
() => {
chrome.debugger.sendCommand(
{
tabId: tabId
},
'Debugger.enable',
{},
result => {
// ...
}
);
}
);

    I don't get the question. chrome.debugger.onDetach is a thing. How is it not what you want?

  • Oh, I see, you're talking about debugger feature within the devtools disabling.

  • @Xan No, I am talking about detaching debugger that was attached by chrome.debugger.attach, not the debugger feature. That is exactly what I looking for! Please post the answer and I will approve it.

If you're looking to catch your debugger connection being closed (as opposed to an event happening within that connection), there is a chrome.debugger.onDetach event provided by the API.

    I made a workaround that suits me: setInterval with try/catch some debugger command.



    const intervalId = setInterval(async () => {
    try {
    // await send 'Debugger.setBreakpointsActive' with active=true
    } catch (error) {
    clearInterval(intervalId);
    onDetach();
    }
    }, 500);
