Using the Redux toolkit.

[ENNA-Egor]

Hello. I've included Redux Toolkit in the build.
Is it possible to include Redux Dev Tools for debugging?
If so, how?
Thank you.

Hey, have you gone through the official docs of electron for installating the required devtools?
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/devtools-extension

[ENNA-Egor]

Yes, I've read the documentation. I installed electron-devtools-installer and enabled it in my app's main
process.

import { installExtension, REDUX_DEVTOOLS, REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS } from 'electron-devtools-installer';

app.whenReady().then(() => {
installExtension([REDUX_DEVTOOLS, REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS])
.then(([redux, react]) => console.log(`Added extensions: ${redux.name}, ${react.name}`))
.catch((err) => console.log('An error occurred: ', err));
});

But when I run the program, neither React Dev Tools nor Redux Dev Tools appear.

The console displays the message:
Download the React DevTools for a better development experience: https://react.dev/link/react-devtools.
React Dev Tools and Redux Dev Tools are installed in the Chome browser.

Is there somewhere I can find a similar code for connecting Redux Dev Tools to Electron? Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.

@ENNA-Egor got any repo you can share where you followed the official docs approach but still the devtool refuse to work?

that'd help find some solution faster 🙂

[ENNA-Egor]

Yes, sure. https://github.com/ENNA-Egor/myERA

Ty for sharing the repo @ENNA-Egor

It looks like the issue with these devtools extensions not showing up has already been reported in both related repositories. The best approach would be to monitor these issues and try any fixes they suggest once available.

electron/electron#32133

[ENNA-Egor]

Thank you. I will monitor the solution to the problem.

[guasam]

you're welcome :)

did take a look at the repo you shared, was just wondering what the goal of that app is. hobby project, or something more spicy?

[ENNA-Egor]

There's no definitive answer to this question. It's both a hobby and a work project. I just solve problems in Excel spreadsheets for work. It's not very convenient there. I decided to create a desktop app to simplify the work. And at the same time, I'll improve my Electron skills.
