showDevTools for background page

Is it possible to open development tools for background page (application has no windows)? I thought it might be something like

// in bg context
nw.Window.get().showDevTools();

But it crashes (#4368), however @rogerwang mentioned that although background page has no corresponding window, call to nw.Window.get() inside it’s context should not crash. Am I missing something?

@offshore I found an interim solution here: https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/4881 . Works for me 😃

chrome.developerPrivate.openDevTools({
    renderViewId: -1,
    renderProcessId: -1,
    extensionId: chrome.runtime.id
})

Is there a solution to this? I still have this issue of unable to see the inspect background option
