Possible to Use Canary for Django Server JavaScript Debugger?
I really like how Pycharm lets me debug JavaScript in my Django application. It is kind of amazing, really.
One thing I struggle with is that the Chrome application launched by the debugger has the same icon and look as my normal Chrome window.
This causes me to often perform web searches on topics related to my work in the debugging copy of Chrome. It becomes obvious when expected autocompletes are not there.
I thought it might be useful to run Chrome Canary as the debugger instead, since it has the alternate yellow Icon, and I could also style the browser window on that markedly differently so I could tell I'm in the debugger window session.
I tried adding Canary using the Configuring Browsers section of the Pycharm docs. Then, I went to set the browser type as described in the JavaScript Debug-specific configuration settings docs.
However, I have my JavaScript / Django debug as an item of Django Server. On the Run/Debug Configurations for this type of configuration, there is only a "Run Browser" checkbox. This is where I designate a different port for this server rather than my normal Python only Run and Debug Django Server Configuration.
Am I missing something?
Is it possible to have the browser from a Django Server Javascript Debugger that is launchd be something other than the system default Chrome?
Part of the reason I want this is that I only debug with Javascript a portion of the time. And I like to fire it up, figure out the problem then quit the application so I can get back to my normal Django Server configuration.
