Right-click: "Inspect in Ember Inspector"

Open NullVoxPopuli opened this issue 7 months ago • 2 comments

I want to be able to right-click anywhere on the page then click "Inspect in Ember Inspector" -- which should open and scroll to the component in the component view.

It should already select and scroll to the component. But opening the devtools, or switching to ember devtools is not supported by chrome, nor firefox.

This is key information! I occasionally try to use the inspect component option from the context menu and I've never had it work so for years I've assumed it was broken. Turns out I've just never happened to do it when Inspector was open and I was already on the component tree tab.

This is awesome, I'm super happy to discover how to make it work. Thanks!

I've just confirmed what @patricklx says, this does work when the Inspector is open 👍 🎉

This used to work even if you did not have inspector open. I wonder if there are some workarounds where we could make that work again?
