React dev tools - Deactivate "break on warnings"

Viewed 11962

While developing with create-react-app, my browser enters debugger mode on warnings:

Paused in debugger

It breaks on the source code of react-dev-tools:

   // --- Welcome to debugging with React DevTools ---
   // This debugger statement means that you've enabled the "break on warnings" feature.
   // Use the browser's Call Stack panel to step out of this override function-
   // to where the original warning or error was logged.

How can I deactivate this behavior?

Based on pull request DevTools: Make break-on-warn off by default #19309 it seems it's a bug.

The Break On Warnings box was unchecked for me and it still would break. Removing and readding the extension to force an update fixed it for me.

I don't know of another way to force Chrome to update an extension outside of its regular schedule.

The issue is due to a recent release. A Workaround proposed by the React team is:

  • Go to Chrome Developer Tools
  • Click on the Components Tab (React Developer Tools Extension)
  • Click on the Settings icon (located next to the component search box)
  • Once modal opens select the Debugging tab
  • Finally, double click on the Break on Warnings checkbox (check and unchecked)

Make sure at last the Break on Warnings checkbox is unchecked.

Chrome has a "BlackBox script" feature which is useful in this case.

  1. Go to Chrome Developer tools -> source tab
  2. Select "react_developer_tools.js" from the left pane
  3. Right-click file and select "Blackbox script"
