Support question - always launch Chrome in new tab in existing window, if existing window exists

Hey all, will try to get straight to the point - I am planning to use Puppeteer to launch in {headless: false} mode.

(a) I am looking to launch Puppeteer as a new tab in an existing window, using some flag (b) I’d like the ChromeDevTools view to open automatically, using some flag

I checked out SO for any existing questions on this, didn’t see any: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/puppeteer

So my question is - does Puppeteer provide us with flags that can force an existing window to be used instead of launching in a new window, and to force dev tools to open?

@aslushnikov ok homie, I am diggin’ your style, but I now have some beef

I have this:

const util = require('util');
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {

  const b = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: false,
    devtools: true, 
    args: ['--remote-debugging-port=9222']
  });

  const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
    browserWSEndpoint:   b._connection._url,   //`ws://${host}:${port}/devtools/browser/<id>`,
    ignoreHTTPSErrors: false
  });

})();

My question is, why do I need to use b._connection._url … 2 properties with underscores.

Something is wrong. Is there a better way to grab the connection url?
