Description

Description

For some reason the inspector button for the DevTools (next to the Vue button) does not show up when I use the current DevTools as a Vite plugin.

I tested this both on Firefox and Chrome.

Research direction

Reproduce the missing inspector button using the DevTools as a Vite plugin in the reported Chrome and Firefox environments. Compare the expected button beside the Vue button with the current plugin behavior; done means the floating inspector button appears reliably in both browsers.
