Affected version: Bruno v0.20.0, electron

It's very unintuitive for me that I need to press alt to see the menu, especially since it's the only place from which I can access developer tools to debug my poorly written script (if I don't remember the keyboard shortcut anyway, which I dont)

I expected this. This got introduced in this PR:https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/pull/393#issuecomment-1749117914

to debug my poorly written script

You're being too modest again :P If you are on linkedin, would love to connect with you. I am here

Here are my thoughts.

1. Bring this back for now in v0.21.0 that I plan to ship in an hour.

2. Work on a new PR that allows a user to hide the menubar via app preferences

3. Add another option called Devtools here

What do you think?

[lared]

I think this is a great plan, thank you!

IMHO this a widely spread behaviour these days ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

like the plan though 👍

I'm very sad to figure out that this is behind a paywall, I was eventually getting the Golden Version, but I have trouble to recommend it. DevTools are too essential! -.-

@martin-braun I think you mean the Browser DevTools, they are not locked behind the golden edition. You can Open them with Ctrl + Alt + I or by clicking on the 3 dots in the top left corner.

The DevTools that are locked behind the Golden Edition include things like: A base64 encoder, JSON to YML...

Also @helloanoop this Issue can probably be closed.

@Its-treason Nop, I was referring to the Bruno DevTools, that would allow you to debug scripts properly. I kinda had to build an echo endpoint that just echos back my request in order to debug my scripts in Bruno. So painful and such a disappointment.

@martin-braun How would Bruno DevTools help in debugging scripts? You are likely looking for chrome devtools which is available in the opensource edition.

@helloanoop variable resolution? console.logging my variables? My current understanding is that the DevConsole is for the Electron app and doesn't allow me to access the context of my pre and post scripts. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@martin-braun You can add console logs to your scripts and have their values logged in the Chrome DevTools console tab like the example below. Is this what you're looking for?
