Apollo-client-devtools: Chrome extension doesn't work

[kaitlynbrown]

I've never been able to get the Apollo Client Devtools chrome extension to work. The extension shows up next to my other ones, but forever remains greyed out. I never see a tab for it in chrome devtools (I do have working tabs for React and Redux devtools though). I've tried passing the connectToDevTools: true as an option when constructing ApolloClient, but this seems to have no effect.

versions:
Chrome Version 68.0.3440.84 (Official Build) (64-bit)
apollo-client 2.4.2 (also tried with 2.3.1)

I am also running the latest version of both React-Apollo and the Apollo DevTools, getting a blank page in the Apollo tab. I have set connectToDevTools: true, still nothing. I even following the Debugging Steps, but to no avail; my Chrome settings already allowed third-party cookies.

I am on Chrome 70.0.3538.77.

Is this still a problem using the latest devtools version (2.1.5)?

I had this issue as well with 2.1.5, cloning the repo and loading that version works fine. Please update the extension in the chrome store :)

Same issue for me. On 2.1.5 I just get a blank page in the Apollo Tab running against Apollo Client 2.4.9.
Please fix.

Same issue for me. I just get a blank page in the Apollo Tab.

Confirming I also was able to get an Apollo tab to appear by installing via the Development instructions in the README.md from master

I first uninstalled the extension from the Chrome store, and I needed to restart Chrome after I'd installed the new one

Let's give this a shot using the same repo. If you setup https://github.com/apollographql/fullstack-tutorial per its instructions, are you able to see the chrome extension?

In an effort to consolidate the conversation of the extension not showing up, i'm going to close this ticket and move the conversation to #142. https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client-devtools/issues/142#issuecomment-461914592
