I had the same issue. I had to do 3 things to get both extensions to show up in devtools.
yarn add git+https://github.com/MarshallOfSound/electron-devtools-installer.git
to install the latest on master.import installExtension, { REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS, REDUX_DEVTOOLS } from 'electron-devtools-installer';
...
const forceDownload = !!process.env.UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS;
const extensions = [REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS, REDUX_DEVTOOLS];
installExtension(
extensions,
{loadExtensionOptions: {allowFileAccess: true}, forceDownload: forceDownload}
)
.catch(console.log);
I was able to get this working with electron-devtools-installer
3.2.0 and electron
11.4.7. It did not work with an earlier electron 11 release, FYI.
Even after cleaning up all the warnings and using @RoderickJDunn's suggestion, no dev tool extensions show up.
Electron v12.0.8 Node v14.15.4 Mac v10.15.17
I had the same issue. I had to do 3 things to get both extensions to show up in devtools.
- Upgrade Electron - I was on 11.1 but had to upgrade to 11.3
- Install this package from github instead of npm. Run the command
yarn add git+https://github.com/MarshallOfSound/electron-devtools-installer.git
to install the latest on master.- Use the new option "loadExtensionOptions" and include "allowFileAccess: true" to the options passed into "installExtension", as follows:
import installExtension, { REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS, REDUX_DEVTOOLS } from 'electron-devtools-installer'; ... const forceDownload = !!process.env.UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS; const extensions = [REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS, REDUX_DEVTOOLS]; installExtension( extensions, {loadExtensionOptions: {allowFileAccess: true}, forceDownload: forceDownload} ) .catch(console.log);
Thanks, it fixes the issue
Following @RoderickJDunn's instructions allowed the redux dev tools to show up, but not the react dev tools. Has anybody else found a solution to this?
Redux has always shown up for me, but never React Dev Tools, though they're being installed the same way.
Running Manjaro Linux and electron 11.4.12 with node 12.18.3 runtime
Someone let me know if I should make another issue, not going to for now.
If anyone else is facing the same issue and is unable to get the package working on a mac Intel silicone then you may use this:
yarn add -D git+https://github.com/ganeshrvel/electron-devtools-installer.git#fix/electron-18
const { app } = require('electron');
export async function installExtensions() {
const {
default: installExtension,
REDUX_DEVTOOLS,
REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS,
} = await import('electron-devtools-installer');
return app.whenReady().then(async () => {
const forceDownload = !!process.env.UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS;
const extensions = [REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS, REDUX_DEVTOOLS];
installExtension(extensions, {
// loadExtensionOptions: { allowFileAccess: true },
forceDownload,
})
.catch((err) => console.error('An extension error occurred: ', err));
});
}
Force download extensions into your local machine
# this is one time only thing to force download extensions into your local machine
UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS=1 yarn dev // or UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS=1 yarn dev or whatever you use
Stop the app
Start the app normally
yarn dev // or yarn start or whatever you use

React Dev Tools doesn't work for me. None of the above fixes work. Electron v31.
Hi! I'm working on an Electron app and I'm testing it on OSX and Windows.
Everything is fine on Windows but my 2 extensions doesn't show at all on OSX.
This is what I use:
What can I check or change to have them on OSX?
