Support for Electron v9 ?

[stuartambient]

I believe this package breaks in v9. addDevToolsExtension is removed , session.loadExtension is now the proper method. Just wanted to know if you have plans to update ?

I’m gonna check it out. Hopefully it’s an easy fix.

Just going to also point out this open ticket. This is for loading react-tools by the path to the chrome extensions. Thank you!
Electron-#23662

Thanks for pointing out that issue! I followed the docs but couldn't get it to work, hopefully there's a solution soon.

@DimitarNestorov in electron 12 there is a new api: targetSession.loadExtension(extensionPath, { allowFileAccess: true })
I believe using it should fix it. I tried building this package/repo, but I ran into multiple problems, maybe you could add some documentation on how to get from this repo's source-code to the npm package.

My workaround:

const reactDevToolsPath = path.join(__dirname, '../node_modules/react-devtools-electron/extension')

app.whenReady().then(async () => {
    // Load React Devtools first
    try {
        await session.defaultSession.loadExtension(reactDevToolsPath, {
            allowFileAccess: true
        })
    }
    catch (e) {
        console.log("Couldn't load react-devtools", e.message)
    }

    // Perform rest of window init
    ...
})
