How to View a SAML Response in chrome while debugging using visual studio

I wanted to view SAML response in chrome while debugging. I have installed SAML DevTools extension. When i browse web site in chrome and then press F12 to open developer tools, i see tab for SAML and i can see the response.
However, i'm developing an application using Visual Studio 2017, and the application makes call to external Idp to get SAML response. I set my visual studio to open in chrome, and start debugging the application. It opens in chrome, then i press F12 to open developer tools, however this time i don't see SAML extension.
The SAML extension is only available when browse the web site without debugging
Are you doing Chrome-specific work? If you can use FireFox I'd recommend using saml tracer (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/saml-tracer/), or just using Fiddler (https://www.telerik.com/fiddler). These are the best tools for SAML tracing in my experience.
This is answered here:
Enable extensions when debugging website in Chrome from Visual Studio 2017
In a nutshell, sign into Chrome that is opened - it will install your extensions, and persist your sign-in, allowing you to use the SAML extension.

How to debug chrome extension with Intellij IDE?

I'm new to Intellij IDE and I was wondering if it's possible to debug Chrome extensions within the IDE.
I can start Chrome debugging session from the IDE, but I can't set any breakpoints.
The problem, if I understand it correctly, is that Chrome moves the JS files to the profile directory when I install the extension, so Intellij can't monitor them anymore.
It is not possible right now. Actual problem — IDEA tries to connect, but special chrome extension page should be used. Vote for http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-9708

Google Chrome Extension not working in canary 31.0.1605.1 canary aura

I just looked on the Getting Started: Building a Chrome Extension Page, and I couldn't get the One-Click Kittens extension to work on my version of canary (31.0.1605.1 canary Aura). If I right click on it and click on "Inspect popup", the extension shows up with a developer window, but it won't work if I just click on it.
It works in Chrome Dev Version 30.0.1568.2, though.
I downloaded all the files from the website.
Is it a problem with the code, Google Chrome canary, or something else?
Thanks.
