I am learning electron
. So I want to open Inspect Element
to debug my app.
I already have menu.js
.
// @flow
import { app, Menu, shell, BrowserWindow, dialog } from 'electron';
export default class MenuBuilder {
mainWindow: BrowserWindow;
constructor(mainWindow: BrowserWindow) {
this.mainWindow = mainWindow;
}
buildMenu() {
if (
process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ||
process.env.DEBUG_PROD === 'true'
) {
this.setupDevelopmentEnvironment();
}
const template =
process.platform === 'darwin'
? this.buildDarwinTemplate()
: this.buildDefaultTemplate();
const menu = Menu.buildFromTemplate(template);
Menu.setApplicationMenu(menu);
return menu;
}
setupDevelopmentEnvironment() {
this.mainWindow.openDevTools();
this.mainWindow.webContents.on('context-menu', (e, props) => {
const { x, y } = props;
Menu.buildFromTemplate([
{
label: 'Inspect element',
click: () => {
this.mainWindow.inspectElement(x, y);
}
}
]).popup(this.mainWindow);
});
}
buildDarwinTemplate() {
const subMenuAbout = {
label: 'Electron',
submenu: [
{
label: 'Quit',
accelerator: 'Command+Q',
click: () => {
app.quit();
}
}
]
};
const subMenuEdit = {
label: 'Edit',
submenu: [
{ label: 'Undo', accelerator: 'Command+Z', selector: 'undo:' },
{ label: 'Redo', accelerator: 'Shift+Command+Z', selector: 'redo:' },
{ type: 'separator' },
{ label: 'Cut', accelerator: 'Command+X', selector: 'cut:' },
{ label: 'Copy', accelerator: 'Command+C', selector: 'copy:' },
{ label: 'Paste', accelerator: 'Command+V', selector: 'paste:' },
{
label: 'Select All',
accelerator: 'Command+A',
selector: 'selectAll:'
}
]
};
const subMenuViewDev = {
label: 'View',
submenu: [
{
label: 'Reload',
accelerator: 'Command+R',
click: () => {
this.mainWindow.webContents.reload();
}
},
{
label: 'Toggle Full Screen',
accelerator: 'Ctrl+Command+F',
click: () => {
this.mainWindow.setFullScreen(!this.mainWindow.isFullScreen());
}
},
{
label: 'Toggle Developer Tools',
accelerator: 'Alt+Command+I',
click: () => {
this.mainWindow.toggleDevTools();
}
}
]
};
const subMenuViewProd = {
label: 'View',
submenu: [
{
label: 'Toggle Full Screen',
accelerator: 'Ctrl+Command+F',
click: () => {
this.mainWindow.setFullScreen(!this.mainWindow.isFullScreen());
}
}
]
};
const subMenuWindow = {
label: 'Window',
submenu: [
{
label: 'Minimize',
accelerator: 'Command+M',
selector: 'performMiniaturize:'
},
{ label: 'Close', accelerator: 'Command+W', selector: 'performClose:' },
{ type: 'separator' },
{ label: 'Bring All to Front', selector: 'arrangeInFront:' }
]
};
const subMenuView =
process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ? subMenuViewDev : subMenuViewProd;
return [subMenuAbout, subMenuEdit, subMenuView, subMenuWindow];
}
buildDefaultTemplate() {
const templateDefault = [
{
label: '&File',
submenu: [
{
label: '&Open',
accelerator: 'Ctrl+O',
click: () => {
dialog
.showOpenDialog({ properties: ['openFile', 'multiSelections'] })
.then(response => {
if (!response.canceled) {
// handle fully qualified file name
return response.filePaths[0];
}
return false;
})
.catch(error => console.log(error));
}
},
{
label: '&Close',
accelerator: 'Ctrl+W',
click: () => {
this.mainWindow.close();
}
}
]
},
{
label: '&View',
submenu:
process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
? [
{
label: '&Reload',
accelerator: 'Ctrl+R',
click: () => {
this.mainWindow.webContents.reload();
}
},
{
label: 'Toggle &Full Screenn',
accelerator: 'F11',
click: () => {
this.mainWindow.setFullScreen(
!this.mainWindow.isFullScreen()
);
}
},
{
label: 'Toggle &Developer Tools',
accelerator: 'Alt+Ctrl+I',
click: () => {
this.mainWindow.toggleDevTools();
}
}
]
: [
{
label: 'Toggle &Full Screen',
accelerator: 'F11',
click: () => {
this.mainWindow.setFullScreen(
!this.mainWindow.isFullScreen()
);
}
}
]
}
];
return templateDefault;
}
}
After running npm run dev
, If I right-click on app window, then I am able to see Inspect element
option but nothing is happening If I click on it.
Note :
I am using Kubuntu 22.04
Edit 1:
If I press SHIFT+CTRL+C then I am getting this error :
Edit 2:
I am working on a git repo which will be used for editing image. But currently there are some issues in the code. So I want to debug it through Inspect Element
.
You can also clone the repo and run :
npm install
npm run dev
