Preact: 10.0.0-alpha.2 - React Developer Tools not active

[janbaer]

I use Preact in two of my private projects together with Parcel.js as module bundler. In the last stable version I just had to import 'preact/devtools' in my index.js where the first render function from Preact will be called and then I could use to React Developer Tools too see my current context. Since Preact X this import is no longer available and I had to remove it. I just read in the release notes that the developer tools git a complete rewrite and the support for the Developer Tools was improved. But in both of my projects, the Developer tools are not active and when I click on the Developer Tools icon, I get only "This page doesn’t appear to be using React."

So my question is what do I have todo to make the Developer tools usable in my project? Maybe it should work out of the box with Preact X but then I would like to know how I could find out, why it's not active in my projects.

The package.json where all the additional config for is made can be found here: https://github.com/janbaer/mdwiki/tree/feature/migration_to_preactx. But thanks to parcel.js there's not so much to configure additionally.

Hi @janbaer
Just import preact/debug where you previously included preact/devtools and the react devtools will start working again.

Thanks @Kanaye, works great. It should be mentioned in the release notes.

I'll reopen this until we've added it to the notes 👍
