I run two desktop machines (m/kb using Input Director, etc). I would like to run Chrome's dev tools on my second desktop, yet run Chrome on my primary.
I know that Chrome offers remote dev tools for Android, but I am unaware (and unable to find) of any way to do this across PC's.
Is there a way to run Chrome dev tools remotely on PC?
That is actually quite easy.
Step 1 :
Make sure to launch the Chrome instance hosting the page you want to inspect (in your case the primary host) with the following additional parameter :
--remote-debugging-port=9222
Step 2 :
If the Chrome instance where you would like to have your Developer Tools front-end was on the same machine, you would then just have to visit the following url to get a list of the inspectable page :
http://localhost:9222
Though, as you want to run the front-end on a different computer, you should target your primary hostname or ip. But because remote debugging works only in a context of local instances (thanks Rob W for pointing this out) you have to, for example, make a tunnel between the port 9222 on your primary computer and another port local to the latter. See this question.

I have a Windows 2016 Server with IIS 10.0.14393.0 installed that is maintained within an isolated VM environment. (The entire VM environment is isolated from the real-world.)
The web server is configured with three websites through IIS, and each website is assigned a dedicated IP. The contents in each of these websites is a single "hello world" html page that can be accessed via a browser from from my development workstation using Microsoft Edge, but I cannot access these pages using Chrome. The simple hello world html page was created only to assist in troubleshooting this issue.
The error received in Chrome is ERR_TIMED_OUT and based on the IIS logs, the request is never reaching the web server. IIS logs do indicate the request/reponse when accessing using Edge.
From my workstation, I can successfully ping the web server, traceroute output does not indicate any unexpected hops, etc. From all indications, the problem appears to be isolated to Chrome and only when accessing the sites on that server. I have other servers (W2016 and W2019) in the real-world with a similar configurations and real applications deployed there that work as expected with any browser.
I am using the latest Chrome Version 105.0.5195.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) and can access other web based content within this VM environment using Chrome, just not on that one server.
I am almost to the point of deleting that VM instance and starting over so any ideas/suggestions are appreciated.
The error received in Chrome is ERR_TIMED_OUT
This is a communication problem indication that there is a problem with the user's local network connection. It can appear when your internet is too slow or your connection is taking too long, or the page or website you are visiting may be too busy, or when the website in question is not set up correctly, or even if the website is trying to perform more than your server can manage.
I'm not sure if you've seen the following methods, but you can try.
Method 1: Browse in Incognito Mode and Remove Extensions.
You should first browse the website in incognito mode to check if you
can open the website normally, if so then the culprit of the
ERR_TIMED_OUT error may be your plugin or extension. Therefore, you
need to enable extensions one by one to check for errors, and if there
is an error enabling an extension, you need to remove it from your
browser.
Method 2: Delete the Default Chrome Folder
Press Win + R keys at the same time to open the Run
Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\ in the box and click OK.
Close your Chrome if it is opened.
A new window pops out, find the folder named Default. Backup the folder anywhere else, then right-click the folder to choose Delete.
After you have deleted the folder successfully, open your Chrome and
then visit the webpage again that you searched before to check if the
error still appears.
Method 3: Update Network Drivers
If your network driver is out of date, you may encounter ERR_TIMED_OUT
errors. Here's how to update network drivers.
Right-click the Start button to select Device Manager.
Scroll down to find Network Adapters and click on it to expand it.
Right-click on your network device and select Update Driver.
Select Search automatically for updated driver software option to start to search and update your network driver to a new version.
After that, restart your computer and open the sites again with Chrome
to see if you can open them.
Method 4: Disable Firewall & Antivirus Software
Sometimes, your firewall or antivirus software may cause trouble.
Therefore, you should try to disable them and check if the problem can
be solved. If you find it helpful to disable these programs, you can
check the firewall settings. Allow Chrome to connect to public or
private networks. If it doesn't work. Permanently delete these
programs, and then use other antivirus software or firewalls.
Method 5: Check Hosts File
When you meet the ERR_TIMED_OUT error accessing a specific website,
you can check the Hosts file to see if the website has been blocked.
Here is the way to do that:
Press Win + E keys at the same time to open File Explorer and then go to the Local Disk C: > Windows > System32 > Drivers > etc.
Open the host file with notepad. If you see the web address that you cannot visit, delete that entire line from the host file and save.
After that, open the Chrome and see if you can open the specific
website.
Method 6: Reinstall Chrome Browser
If none of the methods above fix the ERR_TIMED_OUT error, then you
should try reinstalling Chrome. Here is the tutorial:
Press Win + R keys at the same time to open the Run box, then type appwiz.cpl and click OK to open a new window.
Find Google Chrome in the list, and then right-click it to choose Uninstall.
After uninstalling Google Chrome successfully, you also need to delete its leftover files. Open the Run box again, then type %appdata%
and click OK to open a new window.
Find the Google folder and then right-click it to choose Delete.
Go to Google Chrome’s site to download the latest version of the browser, and then install it.
The above methods are from the web article. To avoid link being unavailable, I have also presented the details. I am not sure if the above methods can help you, but I hope you can solve the problem soon.
I am developing a webpage that uses camera. When I test in Chrome in my local network, camera doesn't work and I get warning in the console:
getUserMedia() no longer works on insecure origins. To use this feature, you should consider switching your application to a secure origin, such as HTTPS. See link for more details.
In the link provided there is an instruction to set some flags in Chrome. So I tried. My command looks like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure="192.168.0.15" --user-data-dir=c:\chrome-dev-profile
But when I run Chrome I get this message:
You are using an unsupported command-line flag: --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure. Stability and security will suffer.
What am I doing wrong?
Is there another way I can test in local network without setting up https server? I need this just for development.
Luka,
I've run into this bug just yesterday. I have not found out how to get Chrome to honor that flag on the command line yet. But I did find a workaround that works for my case.
I'm running my web services on a Linux machine that is running an ssh server. I'm testing on windows with chrome, and used putty to connect to the linux box from windows and then created a "local port forward" to make my remote linux box's ipaddress:port appear on localhost:port on windows. Depending on your platform this workaround may work for you. This approach isn't too cumbersome if you only have a few ports to forward.
In my particular case my setting for putty looked like
L8080 localhost:8080
To see more about port forwarding and ssh see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding
I sort of make shift followed this guide on how to setup remote debugging. Since I am using Adobe Animate to compile my app I assume it has done the majority of the build steps already as I get a similar screen described.
I don't understand though. Here I have port forwarding up on my router so that it goes to my PC. I have TCP port 7935 up and open. Windows firewall on or off doesn't seem to make difference. Windows firewall even prompted me to allow or deny fdb after I ran it. I can't get my phone to connect via remote debugging. I want to be able to send this to my client who is having issue with the app so I can see what's going on under the hood instead of relying on a giant sum of try/catch statements and screenshots. Any help?
I tried a dummy domain and it seems to know that it can't connect to it. When I try mine or my IPv4 it doesn't let me connect. It just freezes up the app.
I don't know whether it works or not in Animate CC, but it works via Flash Builder. I'm using Android real device and I have Android SDK tools installed on my PC
Yes, I have followed that tuts from official Adobe docs, but that doesn't work
First: Simply connect your device to your PC
Actually , you can debug your app remotely as long as your device has been connected with your PC. This step, doesn't necessarily requires FDB.
In my case , all I need was things like
adb connect 192.168.xx.xx:port
this will connect your Android device with your PC on your default network .
Second, set debug setting over network
You've done it in Animate CC, with addition you might want to check "install application on the connected device'
Third, just debug as usual
You can get all those debugging stuff including traces
Testing with PayPal checkout with Selenium & chrome webdriver.
I have tried using another domain name, localhost and 127.0.0.1
It may be important to note i am running inside a Vagrant machine (homestead)
Also tests run manually work.
I believe the issue to be an environment variable
PAYMENT_SANDBOX_PAYPAL_URL=http://localhost:8000/checkout/, however that is confusing as from what i understand there should be no difference when running automated tests with a webdriver.
Is this a networking issue with vagrant and my host? how would i diagnose this?
I understand this is a pretty specific question to the mentioned setup, however i think other new selenium users like myself will find it useful, especially when using codeception and laravel.
Perhaps it has something to do with whitelisting ip's?
Here is the current command.
java -jar vendor/se/selenium-server-standalone/bin/selenium-server-standalonjar -Dwebdriver.chrome.bin="/usr/bin/google-chrome" -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="vendor/bin/chromedriver" -Dwebdriver.chrome.options="--whitelisted-ips=173.0.82.77,127.0.0.1"
I would guess chrome is running with different profile when launched manually (when it is able to load) and when launched through webdriver. WebDriver launches the browser in a different profile which may be very different than default profile which may include some settings related to proxy/networking.
From https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/capabilities
By default, ChromeDriver will create a new temporary profile for each session. At times you may want to set special preferences or just use a custom profile altogether. If the former, you can use the 'chrome.prefs' capability (described later below) to specify preferences that will be applied after Chrome starts. If the latter, you can use the user-data-dir Chrome command-line switch to tell Chrome which profile to use:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("user-data-dir=/path/to/your/custom/profile");
You can create your own custom profile by just running Chrome (on the command-line or through ChromeDriver) with the user-data-dir switch set to some new directory. If the path doesn't exist, Chrome will create a new profile in the specified location. You can then modify the profile settings as desired, and ChromeDriver can use the profile in the future. Open chrome://version in the browser to see what profile Chrome is using.
Are you sure, that PayPal Sandbox URL should be a local URL, not accessible from outside of your box?
Please provide more details! What web framework/web server do you use? What are libraries you used to get PayPal working.
I think, if the behavior differ when running Selenium, it is an issue completely related to WebDriver settings, or it's work together with Vagrant.
I have an intranet site, so i'm not worried about security. What I need to do is allow my users to launch putty.exe from a browser link. The point is that there are numerous putty connections on different ip's ports etc.
Currently we use IE and activex. But we want to use chrome or firefox.
I've heard of ie tab and locallink, but they're not that feasible.
Is there a way to launch a program from a link, crossbrowser?
ie Putty
Being that the program you want to use is PuTTY, in you could do something like:
Putty
Which in Chrome and Firefox will prompt you to choose the appropiate program for that protocol the first time, after that the program should start automatically...
You could also use ssh or ssh2 instead of telnet if your client software (in this case PuTTY) has those URI schemes registered....
