Vue Devtools not loading

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug After the first initial run when the devtools are still being loaded, they’re not available anymore.

When running npm run electron:serve I get this warning message:

(node:16668) ExtensionLoadWarning: Warnings loading extension at C:\Users\oasch\AppData\Roaming\sealas-desktop\extensions\nhdogjmejiglipccpnnnanhbledajbpd: Unrecognized manifest key 'browser_action'. Unrecognized manifest key 'update_url'. Permission 'contextMenus' is unknown or URL pattern is malformed. Cannot load extension with file or directory name _metadata. Filenames starting with "_" are reserved for use by the system.

Which is most likely coming from this line:

await installExtension(VUEJS_DEVTOOLS)

package.json:

"vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder": "^2.0.0-rc.4",

It seems possible to “fix” this by deleting the temporary build and forcing a rebuild.

@Chappie74 The await code is for win.loadURL(process.env.WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER_URL), likely around line 32.

Can those of you with the issue please try this: https://github.com/nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder/issues/776#issuecomment-639099375 (adding await)? It seemed to work for everyone in that issue, and it seems like the same problem.
