Can't import state with chrome dev tools

[tjoskar]

Hi,

I'm using this project with chrome dev tools and I'm loving it so thanks for your hard work.

However, I'm missing a feature where you can replace a current state with a saved one. It works fine with a pure react app like this one: http://zalmoxisus.github.io/examples/todomvc/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdybTliFl4I

But if I use chrome dev tools with the ngrx example app (or any other ngrx app) I'm not able to import the state: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wD_GyEUHJc

Is this a bug or do store-devtools not suport this feature (replacing the store)?

I'm currently using the following versions of ngrx and angular:

@angular/common: 2.0.1
@angular/compiler: 2.0.1
@angular/core: 2.0.1
@angular/http: 2.0.1
@angular/platform-browser: 2.0.1
@angular/platform-browser-dynamic: 2.0.1
@ngrx/core: 1.2.0
@ngrx/effects: 2.0.0
@ngrx/store: 2.2.1
@ngrx/store-devtools: 3.1.0

And are bootstrapping store-devtools with:

@NgModule({
    declarations: ...,
    imports: [
        StoreModule.provideStore(reducers, initState()),
        EffectsModule.run(SomeEffects1),
        EffectsModule.run(SomeEffects2),
        StoreDevtoolsModule.instrumentOnlyWithExtension()
    ],
    bootstrap: ...,
    providers: ...
})

Thanks!

It looks like the extension only filter out DISPATCH action-types https://github.com/ngrx/store-devtools/blob/6e880ba68958e24a78dce05d5bb8a75b09999ad5/src/extension.ts#L84 but when I try to import an old state the type is of IMPORT.

I have the same issue as the one you stated. Looks like you found a solution in #225@ngrx/store. I was able to hardcode the initial state using the second param of the provideStore function. However I'd like to make use of the dev-tools ui for this step. Can you provide a small code sample with the solution?

This looks related to https://github.com/ngrx/store-devtools/issues/33 and probably at least has the issue with immediate unsubscription from extension changes that I mention in https://github.com/ngrx/store-devtools/issues/33#issuecomment-257005059

I'm also having problems with this. Has anyone found a workaround or fix? A lot of why I want ngrx is so my QA can send me his state when he finds bugs. Very disappointed when I found this wasn't working.
