Chrome 80 seems broken for CEP plugin's remote debugging (CEP7)

[Naoki-Hada]

I got Chrome update for version 80 and realized CEP plugin's remote debugging is broken.

I verified that Chrome ver 79 is still working after reinstalled old version.

The project is old code base on CEP7.

I wonder if this is happening on CEP7 only or happening on CEP8 or CEP9.

Also it would be fixed on later Chrome version or CEP7 is outdated from standard.

Hi Naoki,

Are you aleady try to use cefclient?

AFAIK, Chrome doesn't work correctly because of its limitations.

@Ten_A,

Thank you very much for the information.

I did not realized cefclient for debugging as Chrome was working long time.

As I tested, chefclient from CEP7 does not work any more. It looks like it is using shared component from installed Chrome app.

But chefclient from CEP 9 works fine even my project is based on CEP 7.

Thank you very much,

Naoki

I posted another solution that (hopefully) allows you to continue using Chrome: https://community.adobe.com/t5/exchange/cannot-debug-in-chrome-80-inspectable-web-elements-not-avail...

Thank you very much for addtional info.

For my case (no UI componet), cefclient is working fine.

I can keep running cefclient.

Chrome is taking too much resource (CPU and RAM), so I prefered to limit usage.

Thank you,
Naoki
