Unable to download DevTools for the current target - on vscode.dev

[lethuyet]

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS (e.g., Windows 10): iPadOS
• Extension version (e.g., 1.2.3): 2.1.5 (customized from ‘ui’ to ‘workspace’ extension kind - to be installed in vscode web)

Describe the bug:

After being customized (by changing extension kind from ‘ui’ to ‘workspace’) and installed successfully (via vsix file) in vscode.dev, the browser pane is working correctly (with whatever webpages loaded correctly), but the DevTools pane isn’t working and showing “Unable to download DevTools for the current target”.

Repro steps:

• Customize the extension by changing extension kind from ‘ui’ to ‘workspace’.
• Install the extension via vsix file in vscode.dev
• load whatever webpages successfully (e.g microsoft.com) in the browser pane
• the DevTools pane isn’t working and showing “Unable to download DevTools for the current target”

Expected behavior:

• the DevTools pane should work

Additional context:

Vscode.dev editor accessing the vscode server (on remote macos machine) via Remote Tunnel Access.
On the remote macos machine:

• VSCode with Remote Tunnel Access is On
• Edge browser: Version 127.0.2651.105 (Official build) (x86_64)

Hi @lethuyet,

Thank you for the feedback, this does not seems a bug but a feature request as by design the extension is designed to be run only locally (at least for now), this is an interesting request and I'll leave it open as a feature request in case anyones wants to take over it. Thanks for using the extension.
