This page doesn’t appear to be using React. If this seems wrong, follow the troubleshooting instructions on Microsoft Edge


I created the build of a MERN Stack application using the npm run build command, then I ran this built application on my default browser (Microsoft Edge) using the npm start command. I then installed the react devtools extension for Edge from Chrome. But when I enable react devtools on my react app, it does not activate and I get the message This page doesn’t appear to be using React. If this seems wrong, follow the troubleshooting instructions. I don't understand why I get this error because my application is entirely designed in react on the frontend side. I don't know if it's because I got the wrong server start command .


Solution

  • You can try the following solution. In Edge, right click on React devtools, go to Manage extensions, and select "Allow access to file URLs". enter image description here Also, it has been reported that a re-installation of react devtools and a restart of browser may help. By the way, react devtools is available in Microsoft Edge Add-ons, so you can just install it in Edge (since you said you installed it from Chrome).
