Chrome Devtools opens as a search rather then the dev tools themselves

I was faced with the ERR_INVALID_URL when i tried with @IanMacDonalds answer.

For some reason navigating to the URL without parameters first, loaded devtools properly.

devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html

Then adding the params on afterwards got the debugging session working again.

?experiments=true&ws=localhost:40000

Hope that helps @Przemo


The URL scheme was recently changed to just devtools:// in chromium. The NativeScript CLI v7 has been rereleased to correct this minor change.

Use devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html?experiments=true&ws=localhost:41000.
