Scope section in Chrome DevTools is stuck at "Loading..."

Question

When adding a breakpoint to a file within the Google Chromes Dev Tools "Sources" tab, the "Scope" section in the right hand column is suppose to get populated with all the available variables / objects declared in that file.

This functionality works as expected for some of my files, but for others it just displays this "Loading..." text.

Why is this?

I had the same issue, reloading devtools fixed it for me. To reload devtools, press Ctrl+Shift+P and search for "Reload Devtools" or Alt + R
