DevTools not evaluating `$0` eagerly

After selecting an element, typing $0 in the console doesn't give me preview of the result. It simply suggests from history. However, document.querySelector works fine. I'm using Edge 122.0.2365.92.

$0 not eager evaluated $0. not providing helpful completions document.querySelector works fine

I expect devtools to eager evaluate the expression $0, preview the result and provide auto-completion based on that, just like document.querySelector would.

Also tried on Chrome 122.0.6261.131, but it behaves the same as Edge.

Solution

  • I can reproduce this issue on latest version of both Edge and Chrome. However, for Edge, 121.0.2277.112 shows the eager evaluation for $0 as expected.

    Seems like a new issue on the latest version of Chromium, so I suggest you create a post on https://issues.chromium.org/.
