Debugging simultaneously in Intellij/Webstorm and Chrome dev tools

Question

With the latest versions : Intellij 13 or Webstorm 8.

It's cool to be able to debug the code in the IDE. But Chrome dev tools brings search in the DOM / inspect element which is lost when debugging in the IDE.

Actually the IDE debug session stops as soon as the chrome dev tools are open.

IS it possible to avoid that?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

As of Chrome 63 this is now possible.

Answer 2

No:( Unfortunately the javascript debugger in WebStorm/Idea can't co-exist with Chrome dev tools. It's Chrome problem that can't be solved on JetBrains side. Please vote for http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=129539
