Yeah that's the only way atm. I have the same issue, trying to install react and redux devtools. It works in production/packaged app but not in dev mode. Using https://github.com/MarshallOfSound/electron-devtools-installer

@caoxiemeihao any ideas?

Awesome, thank you! Glad that you found a new job as well, I remember you were looking!

@Stanzilla I noticed your comments about this issue elsewhere. Maybe we need to wait for an official response from Electron.

I'm not sure since it does work in build mode my guess is that vite just does not know where to look for the files in dev mode.

Is there a way to expedite an official response from Electron?

To everyone got struggled:

I found a workaround to add back react devtools to electron. The root cause is the default startup argument --no-sandbox in electron-vite-plugin. Therefore I tried to modify vite.config.mts like this:

electron([
  {
    entry: 'electron/main.ts',
    onstart: (option) => option.startup(['.']),
    // ... other configs
  },
  // ... other configs
])
