Google Chrome dev tools no longer lets me re-position it to the bottom of the page instead of the right side. Anyone know how I can re-enable this function? It makes it very difficult to use it in certain screen layouts.
I'm using Chrome v 33.0.1750.154 m
Windows 8.1
Interestingly, the opposite is true in Canary(v 35.0.1900.0 canary). In canary dev tools are stuck on the bottom and can't be re-positioned to the side.
Is there some check-box I accidentally clicked or what??
Currently I can only dock or un-dock the dev tools panel, but the option to change it's position inside the window is gone.
If you click and hold the dock/undock button you get the option to reposition.
Cmd-Shift-D also works, as I just found out

when open chrome some element getting overlap
like As seen in this picture
I need fix this problem
Even I have faced the same issue.
What I did is I just opened dev tools in separate window.
Click on the 3 dots icon then you can find dock side option, In dock side select the first option which will pop out the dev tools into new window.
In this image you can find the dockside option
This is how the dev tools window will open
Now you can view the entire web page as well as dev tools.
Why can't I inspect elements in cypress.io window?
I have installed cypress 3.1.0 and when I run a test I can see it open in the chrome window. I run the same code at work and in my window at work, I can right click and Inspect Element, for some reason I can't do the same thing at home. Odd indeed.
In Cypress it says I am running Running Electron 59.I totally can inspect in a normal chrome window. My chrome version is browser Version 70.0.3538.77 (Official Build) (64-bit). Am I missing something here?
* update, at work I found out I am using 3.0.2
* update, I also notice at home, I get a 2nd icon in the window bar for cypress at home, at work I get a 2nd chrome window icon in the window bar
Inspector is indeed hidden. Ctrl + Shift + D ( Cmd + Shift + D) will move its position to a visible area.
I'm having the same issue opening the inspector whether via shortcut or "click > Inspect" (Chrome 69, OSX 10.11.6, Cypress 3.1.0)
What is happening is that the dev tools are opened with a size of about 1x10 pixels on my top left corner, and I have to hide other windows in order to see the tools and be able to resize them.
Chances are that the Inspector is opened but hidden somewhere.
Hope that this helps
When I bring up the dev tools in Chrome Canary, it just appears as a black box. I have it set to display in another window rather than overlaying the actual page, but as said, the inside of this window is just black. If I hover the mouse over it, it highlights the elements on the page accordingly.
I have tried: Looking for settings to dock it back into the screen, restarting CC, restarting my computer, reverting to default settings in the CC menu. None of this has changed a thing unfortunately.
EDIT: Has been resolved with update to version 33.0.1707.0
Same thing happened to me, starting sometime in the past two days. I tried everything you did and also tried reinstalling Chrome Canary, no dice. My solution was to dock the developer tools back to the main browser window by clicking in the upper-right corner of the black box, where I think the dock icon usually is.
Since the last update of Google Chrome, a screen ruler shows up when inspecting an element. Does anyone know how to disable this ruler?
This is an old question, but now you can enable or disable now in Chrome Developer Tools -> Settings -> Show Rulers (you can also access the settings just pressing F1).
In Chrome 38, there is a "Toggle Device Mode" button to the left of menu items in developer tools. Clicking on it will toggle display of ruler and device emulation list.
Go to "Settings" -> "General" tab.
In the end of page, click on button "Restore defaults and reload".
=)
It's not possible for the moment.
You need to wait Chrome 25 or use Canari.

This is now known as Device Mode. It allows you to select different device screen sizes as well as emulate different Network Speeds.
You can enable/disable it by clicking the Phone Icon on your console.
Upgrading to the latest dev release fixed this for me:

This started happening to me out of the blue. I use Chrome inspect element for developing, on a personal computer that no one else uses.
This morning, I had the whole rulers-and-menus thing appear as if out of nowhere.
The above suggestions did nothing. When I got to the configuration check-box for rulers, I discovered it was turned off.
I was able to get the old look back by resetting the defaults in the same config menu which held the rulers check-box. Hope that helps anyone stuck like I was.
When you have the unspect editor opened, Just go to settings by clicking the icon (top right on the unspector) there you will find a big button saying restore defaults and reload . That worked for me . Good luck
I'm using Chrome Canary (Version 45.0.2451.0 canary), and the presence of the rulers appears to be tied to whether Emulation is enabled. Restoring defaults (as suggested above) turns it off, or you can just go to the drawer at the bottom and do it.
I'm building out my jquery mobile app out and have been testing in Chrome. Its the best for me because the debugging is great.
I was using a TAPHOLD event but decided to go away from that for a swipe-right event.
Chrome actually registered the taphold, so I was hopeful that it would register a swipe right with the mouse. But I cannot get it to register unless I have to do something else... anyone?
By now the actual chrome developer tools (tried chrome 20) can emulate touch and swipe events.
You can activate that behavior through the tool options, accessible via the little gear-wheel in the bottom corner.
Just check "Emulate touch events" from the options. Then you can also swipe with your mouse.
In desktop browsers I tend to use the right mouse button testing swipes. It will open a context-menu but it actually works (I normally use Chrome 17 and Firefox 10).
For instance when left-clicking and then swiping on an image in Chrome or Firefox it selects the image and you are then moving around the transparent thumbnail of the image. But when right-clicking and swiping the swipe event is fired.
UPDATE
This update is pretty late to the punch but this just shouldn't be necessary anymore. In fact the Chrome developer tools (the ones I'm used to using) have gotten a lot better about emulating devices.
A lot of the answers here are old and out of date. As of Chrome 63, swipe is built-in as long as you are in responsive mode with developer tools open. So open Developer Tools (3 dots->tools->developer tools), then click the phone/tablet icon on the left to put Chrome into a mobile mode. Then if you left click and hold, you will see the cursor changed to a dot, and you can swipe.
Update: this appears to be enabled in Chrome by default (37.0.2062.120 as of September 2014) you do the following:
Open Developer Tools
Click the little phone icon next to the search icon in the upper left (next to the Elements tab)
In the Emulation tab on the bottom choose a device model from the drop down
Previous answer:
To get this working in the current version of Chrome (32.0.1700.107 as of Feb 2014) you do the following:
Open Developer Tools
Click the gear icon in the upper right
Select the Overrides tab on the left
Click on Show 'Emulation' view in console drawer
Close the Settings popup
Open the Console (button to the left of the gear)
Click the Emulation tab in the console (next to Console and Search)
Choose a device and click on Emulate (and click Reset to cancel emulation)
