Today Microsoft announced the new Edge Diagnostics Adapter, which opens up Microsoft Edge to tools outside the browser, allowing us to debug sites in Edge with tools like Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code. The Edge Diagnostics Adapter simplifies workflow without sacrificing the power or familiarity of the tools we are using today.
The Edge Diagnostics Adapter exposes a Chrome Debugging Protocol endpoint, which is injected into the running instance of Microsoft Edge. We can start the Adapter and connect our tools to Edge right away, no restart or command line flag required. This makes debugging in Edge with our existing editor or other tools a smooth experience, as tools can connect right they’re needed, without interfering with application state.
