headless mode and functions limited

[Julian-Eslava]

-->

Environment (please fill in the following information): **

• Operating System (e.g., Windows 10): Windows 10 Professional (X64) 22H2
• Extension version (e.g., 1.2.3): v2.1.6

Describe the error:

1. Error: I can't access all features because I supposedly haven't disabled it when that's not true.
2. Error: I can't create variables from the DevTools; I get a notification and then an error about not finding a file.

Steps to playback:

1. Error: I open the browser in any way and it always appears at the top of the screen.
2. Error: Go to DevTools in styles, hit +, create any variant and the notification appears and, when I delete it or repeat the process, the error appears.

**Expected behaviour

1. Update once headless is disabled and it will be removed.
2. That you can create custom variables faster.

Hi @Julian-Eslava

Thank you for reporting this issues, here are some thoughts.

For # 1

• I have noticed that if you use the headless version of the extension, then you close it and deactivate the checkbox for headless on the extension settings (to get a non-headless browser), sometimes the Edge process used to launch the headless version is kept alive, so the next time we try to launch it in non-headless mode it will continue using the existing headless session. A quick fix for this is, Open "Task manager" in windows and see if you have any msedge.exe process around that was kept alive and close it from there. Next time you launch from vscode it should work

For # 2
Interesting I'll take a look, thanks for reporting.

Thank you very much for your attention and response. About problem 1, the truth is that it didn't work for me, I did it in several ways, but it definitely didn't work for me; wouldn't it be better if the headless mode was deactivated by default in a patch so as not to have these problems?
