[BUG] In Illustrator CC 2018 Remote Debugger Restarts Extension

[AndrewMore1]

When running in the Illustrator CC 2018 app with our extension the remote debugger appears to be causing the extension to restart.

Steps: 1) Start up Illustrator 2) Open Extension 3) Attach Chrome using the remote debugger. "http://localhost:8089". 4) Select Extension name from list 5) Set a break point 6) Attempt to step beyond the break point.

Results: The extension panel goes blank, the debugger indicates it's still attached, but no longer displays anything.

Expected: The debugger to continue to function, the extension to continue to work.

Further details:

• I've attempted to connect with both the latest Chrome browser (64) as well as a back level Chromium build (~57ish). Both have the same issues.
• I've also seen this in InDesign and Photoshop.
• I do NOT have any issues with CC2017, this problem appeared after the upgrade to CC2018
• Extension works correctly as long as the debugger is not attached.

I also need to add that I see this issue on Windows 7, I have not tested on MacOS

@AndrewMore1 You should try with the "Cefclient" from https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/tree/master/CEP_8.x The CEF Client is in fact a Chromium that match the version inside Adobe's apps

[AndrewMore1]

That's useful to know. Unfortunately I'm seeing the same problem there. Thanks for the tip, it's going to make working with CC2017 much easier.

That's not fun...! Make sure to use the corresponding CEF Client to the version of CEP, CEP 7 should be for CC 2017.

The same issue here, @bbb999 do you have any solution for this? the problem is on Windows

[bbb999]

No idea, sorry.

[AndrewMore1]

Can confirm that Mac debugging works correctly.

I have the same issue on windows, on Indesign CC2018. Il tried many versions of Chrome and even the corresponding CEF Client. Not working.
