Breakpoint Debugging
Note that this will increase the size of the build significantly, taking up around 50G of disk space

Write the following file to electron/.git/info/exclude/debug.gn

import("//electron/build/args/testing.gn")
is_debug = true
symbol_level = 2
forbid_non_component_debug_builds = false

Then execute:

$ gn gen out/Debug --args="import("//electron/.git/info/exclude/debug.gn") $GN_EXTRA_ARGS"
$ ninja -C out/Debug electron

Now you can use LLDB for breakpoint debugging.

is_debug flag will cause errors,

Thanks for reaching out!

Because we treat our issues list as the team's backlog, we close issues that are questions since they don't represent a task needing to be completed. This forum is for raising bugs or requesting new features, and for most questions about Electron there are a lot of more appropriate community options. There are helpful people in this Discord or the subreddit that should be willing to point you in the right direction.

is_debug标志将导致错误，

extension_action_api.cc add function

ExtensionFunction::ResponseAction
ExtensionActionOpenPopupFunction::RunExtensionAction() {
LOG(INFO) << "chrome.action.getPopup is not supported in Electron";

return RespondNow(WithArguments(""));
}
