Devtools doesn’t show console or requests for extension popup? [duplicate]

by

I had this problem as well initially! Make sure you have correct developer tools window opened… I mean, you might have opened the developer tools window for the main page rather than the extension’s page (ie. popup.html).

To open the developer tools window for inspecting the popup, right click on the popup and then click ‘inspect element’… That opens the right developer tools window.

I had made this stupid mistake initially and was stuck.. 🙂
