How do you inspect devtools.html in a chrome extension?

Question

Working on an extension that use the new experimental devtools apis. How do you debug your devtools.html file with the web inspector?

Is devtools.html listed under the the extension toggle on chrome://extensions when you have a web inspector panel open? — abraham, Jan 12 '12 at 19:47
@rob-w how does a question asked in '12 get marked as a duplicate of a question asked in '13? — Spencer Carnage, Jul 02 '14 at 22:09
@SpencerCarnage Purely looking at the timestamps, the other way around would indeed be more logical, but I believe that the answer in the '13 question would be more useful to future visitors. The answers in this question are not really convenient. Actually, they do not answer the question at all. The accepted answer is about getting involved with the development of the Chrome developer tools (NOT a devtools extension), and the other answer cannot be used to debug devtools extensions because the devtools APIs are only available to devtools pages, not options pages. — Rob W, Jul 02 '14 at 22:12
@rob-w I understand. And yes, the answers ultimately aren't very helpful but at the time they were the best I could get! — Spencer Carnage, Jul 02 '14 at 23:26

You might also look at listing the HTML file as an options_page in your manifest.

See this blog post for more details.
