Brave-browser: Typescript (.ts and .tsx) files have no syntax highlighting when opened in the dev tools Sources tab

[tamj0rd2]

Description

I'm developing a website using Typescript. When I open the dev tools, go to the Sources tab and click any .ts or .tsx files, there is no syntax highlighting.

Steps to Reproduce

Requires node/npm to be installed

1. Run npx create-react-app myappname --typescript
2. cd myappname
3. npm start
4. Open localhost:3000 in brave
5. Go to DevTools > Sources tab
6. Open index.tsx or any other ts/tsx file

Actual result:

No syntax highlighting although the debugger still works

Expected result:

Syntax highlighting, shown in Chrome

Reproduces how often:

Easily reproduced. I've never seen it working correctly

Possibly blocking a script from Google that's doing the styling.

But I would think that whatever's responsible for providing syntax highlighting for files in the devtools would be shipped with Brave? It doesn't seem like something an external script would need to be downloaded for

Bump.

That would be great

This stopped me as a web developer to use brave as main browser. Three times =(

This may be fixed now; with Nightly (and it'll work its way down through channels), you can enable remote debugging under brave://settings/privacy. When this is enabled, it should fetch sources

@ksbrar @rguillaume @alexichepura and others: can you please try Nightly and confirm it works? (with Remote Debugging enabled?)

[alexichepura]

@bsclifton thanks for the update! It works for me in nightly after enabling remote debugging and browser restart.

Closing as this is fixed with https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/4044

Thanks for the confirmation, @alexichepura! 😄
