Description

failed to load virtual js files from vue-devtools when running in chrome extension page.
how to specify injected js src with origin from dev server.

I am using wxt.dev to develop chrome extension, wxt.config.ts config like this,

// wxt.config.ts
import vueDevTools from 'vite-plugin-vue-devtools'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
   vue(),
   vueDevtools()
  ]
})

something i found after start npx wxt on my project,

//.output/chrome-mv3/options.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="zh-CN">
  <head>
    <script type="module" src="/@id/virtual:vue-devtools-path:overlay.js"></script>
    <script type="module" src="/@id/virtual:vue-inspector-path:load.js"></script>
....

as a result, request is failed

Request URL:
chrome-extension://amidodbgcdpbldlmccigekeemjhkkhlh/@id/virtual:vue-devtools-path:overlay.js
Referrer Policy:
strict-origin-when-cross-origin

it would be correct if the injected js src to be prepend with dev server, for example

    <script type="module" src="http://localhost:3000/@id/virtual:vue-devtools-path:overlay.js"></script>
    <script type="module" src="http://localhost:3000/@id/virtual:vue-inspector-path:load.js"></script>

Research direction

Start with wxt.config.ts and the generated .output/chrome-mv3/options.html, then trace how the virtual vue-devtools-path and vue-inspector-path script URLs are injected. Done means the options page loads those modules from the development server origin instead of requesting them under the chrome-extension:// URL.
