How to get to script content sandbox in Chrome JS console

If I open the JavaScript console in the Chrome developer tools to debug my content content scripts, I don't get the content script context. For example, jQuery is not available, and I cannot access my global variables unless I go to the debugger and set a breakpoint.

Did I miss something? It would be great to check my global variables from the JS console or call jQuery.

You can achieve this indirectly by calling the debugger in an isolated world of content script:

  • Select the tab whose content scripts you want to check.
  • Open dev tools for this tab
  • Open an inspector for your main extension page (or any other extension page) in a popup window
  • Run chrome.tabs.executeScript(undefined, {'code': 'debugger'})
