Excel on Mac: How to access DevTools for Dialog content?

Question

I am developing an Office-Addin for Excel, and I am developing on a Mac. I have followed the instructions at the following link in order to enable the Safari Web Inspector:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/testing/debug-office-add-ins-on-ipad-and-mac

This works and I can right-click, and "Inspect Element" in my Taskpane, and everything works as expected.

However: when I open a dialog in Excel, I loose the ability to accomplish this. I can right-click in my dialog, and click "Inspect Element", but no inspector is opened. Is there a way to accomplish what I am wanting?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try this. Make the window smaller before you right click on inspect, this may force the debugger to pop-out.

Answer 2

The only time that happened to me had to do something with the npm package that I installed and a method call that I used there but after commenting package import and a method call I got the inspector back.
