Edge Dev Tools - Device Emulation Missing

[modest heath]

When opening the dev tools on Windows, the option to emulate a device is missing (along with the options to dock the dev tools to the window rather than them being popped out).
Is this an issue or just a limitation of WebView2? It'd be great to have access to this feature as it's really helpful for multiplatform development!

It's just the limitation of webView2

[modest heath]

Ah that's a shame. Thanks for the help!

[fossil scarab]

actually webview2 is a web viewer

and is like a mini Microsoft Edge

so, they cannot dock it to the window

[modest heath]

Ahh that makes sense

[fossil scarab]

but also the dev tools is the same devtools that ms edge has

so, maybe (i'm not sure) it might be related to how tauri injects the webview

[modest heath]

Edge does allow you to do device emulation with the dev tools un-docked. I imagine it's something to do with how Tauri uses webview (as you said). Maybe webview can't control the base window in such a way like Edge can

[fossil scarab]

I also think so

as far as i know this is disabled in webview2 and not just because of how we inject the webview into the window

[fossil scarab]

Hmm

[vestal pebble]

but i only found one single issue in the webview2 feedback repo about this sooo i don't have a lot of data to back that up

Ah yes, I see that the button is missing the screenshot on their docs site: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/how-to/debug-devtools?tabs=dotnetcsharp
