[Feature request] Inspector auto-opens when using Chrome Vue DevTools and vite-plugin-vue-devtools together

Open SidStraw opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

Problem Description

When developing a frontend project with both Chrome Vue DevTools and vite-plugin-vue-devtools installed, selecting a component using Chrome Vue DevTools’ “Select component in the page” or inspecting a component triggers the following issues:

  • vite-plugin-vue-devtools automatically opens its Inspector panel, causing interference.
  • It is not possible to fully disable or prevent the in-page Inspector overlay from vite-plugin-vue-devtools.
  • The overlay negatively affects the page interaction experience.

Expected Behavior

  • When used together with Chrome Vue DevTools, each Inspector should operate independently without triggering the other.
  • Provide configuration options to completely disable the in-page Inspector overlay from vite-plugin-vue-devtools.

Additional Notes

The overlay UI displayed on top of the page significantly affects interactions. When testing mobile layouts, this popup may take up a large portion of the screen, and closing the devtools panel might also close the popup unintentionally.
