Chrome Inspect Element crashing with Ripple Emulator


I'm building a mobile application with Visual Studio 2013, using Ripple Emulator and Cordova.

Every time that I try to inspect an element (hitting Ctrl + Shift + I, F12 or right clicking the page and selecting Inspect element) the Google Chrome closes and Visual Studio stops running the application.

Has anyone know why I'm unable to inspect elements inside the browser using Ripple Emulator?

Ps: Visual Studio 2013 has his own DOM Explorer but the experience is not the same as the Chrome Developer Tools.


Solution

  • A simple workaround is to start your project without debugging (Ctrl+F5) from Visual Studio. This will allow you to use the Chrome dev tools (F12 and so on) without killing the VS debugger process and therefore stopping your Ripple session.
