Trying to view my test localStorage
, I see nothing in the Storage section under Applications in the Developer Tools.
However, using the console, I can access it
Its a known Bug (#701413)
They fixed it in version 59.0.3069.0 (#718482)
I can see the localStorage of different domains like FB, but not from the current domain. When starting up developer tools it appears, but disappears after a reload.
Workaround: re-open the Dev Tool, that is press F12 twice. Tested on Ubuntu Chrome 58.
I have been encountering the same issue. Not a great solution, but if one closes the developer tools and reopens the developer tools, one will find the domain showing again under Local Storage with all the local storage name value pairs. At least I found a nice shortcut to open and close the developer tools researching this issue. cmd + option + i for mac. I hope this helps my fellow coders.
