Allows multiple Chrome DevTools Clients to connect to a single Remote Debugger (ie Chrome Headless) instance
Proxy Server application which allows multiple Chrome DevTools Clients to simultaneously connect to a single Remote Debugger (ie Chrome Headless) instance.
Google Chrome Headless (or any other Devtools Protocol implementation) only allows one client to control it at any particular time; this means that if you have an application which uses https://github.com/cyrus-and/chrome-remote-interface to operate the web page, you cannot debug that web page while it is being controlled by your application.
By using https://github.com/johnspackman/chrome-remote-multiplex you can work around this restriction, by connecting your app and your debugger(s) to chrome-remote-multiplex and allowing it to handle the single connection to Chrome Headless.
google-chrome-canary --headless --remote-debugging-port=9222 --disable-gpu https://chromium.org
npm install -g chrome-remote-multiplex
chrome-remote-multiplex
And then open a browser and go to http://localhost:9223.
You can change the ports that chrome-remote-multiplex uses via the command line, this command line has exactly the same effect as above:
chrome-remote-multiplex --connect-to=localhost:9222 server-port=9223
