Alternatively, DevTools for a specific WebView can be opened via the Igloo Core Engine API (probably using iceman), by sending the message layer/contextual/showDevTools?id=[layer-id]. The layer ID can be omitted if the WebView you’d like to inspect is the currently selected layer.

When using this API method to open DevTools for a layer the program will likely not exit cleanly, leaving a lingering process which must be closed using Task Manager before running again. Monitor Task Manager when closing Igloo Core Engine after using this API method. |
