"Event Stream" tab is empty in Chrome dev tools

[lttb]

Hi! Thank you very much for your work.

I was wondering if you have ever faced with this issue: "Event Stream" tab is empty in Chrome dev tools:

It seems that this problem is related to these issues:

• https://stackoverflow.com/a/58769261/14077339
• https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1025893
• https://github.com/Yaffle/EventSource/issues/79

At the moment, it looks like that the events will be shown only if the native EventSource used, but if you could share any workarounds or ideas about it, that would be amazing. Thanks!

Apologies for the late reply @lttb. Yes, unfortunately that's a known issue with this approach: chrome dev tools apparently only works with the native EventSource. What we've done in Azure is to put our own logging in the onmessage callback, for example:

fetchEventSource('/api/sse', {
    onmessage(msg) {
        if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
            console.debug('[EventSource]', msg);
        }

This is definitely less convenient, but has been enough for us to debug issues the last couple years.

there is a chrome extension to view EventStream in devtools. https://github.com/maltoze/sse-viewer

Curious has anyone opened a bug/feature in the Chrome project for this?

Couldn't find a solution, so I logged all data in the console for easier debugging.

Here is my log code. group all data in a table in the console panel.
