How to use Redux DevTools in a chrome extension

Hi there,

I’m developing a chrome extension and the redux-devtools-extension doesn’t seem to find the store. The window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__ (or window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION_COMPOSE__) are not getting defined, from what I could gather. I’m guessing the problem is that redux-devtools-extensions doesn’t work on chrome-extension://<extensionID>/<page> urls. Is there a way to fix that?

My configuration is as follows:

// configureStore.js
import { createStore, combineReducers, applyMiddleware, compose } from 'redux'
import thunk from 'redux-thunk'

const composeEnhancers = window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION_COMPOSE__ || compose

export default () => {
  const store = createStore(
    combineReducers({
      // my reducers
    }),
    composeEnhancers(applyMiddleware(thunk))
  )

  return store
}

redux@3.7.2
redux-devtools-extension@2.15.1

Thanks!

@seyaobey I was able to solve it using the following approach

I also had to run remotedevtools locally: remotedev --hostname=localhost --port=8000 and change the Settings of the RemoteDev popup to Use custom (local) server

@markbiek Thanks for the blog post! Setting up remote-redux-devtools worked very smoothly.
