Getting Started

Ensure you have Tauri set up correctly. Then install the Rust instrumentation from crates.io:

cargo add devtools

You also have to enable the tracing feature for Tauri, so your Cargo.toml file should look as follows:

[dependencies]
devtools = "0.2.4" # replace with latest
tauri = { version = "1.5.3", features = ["tracing"] }
[build-dependencies]
tauri-build = "1.5.0"

Then add the following snippet to your tauri initialization code:

fn main() {
    #[cfg(debug_assertions)] // only enable instrumentation in development builds
    let devtools = devtools::init();

    let builder = tauri::Builder::default();

    #[cfg(debug_assertions)]
    let builder = builder.plugin(devtools);

    builder
        .run(tauri::generate_context!("./tauri.conf.json"))
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

And then run your app as usual, if everything is set up correctly devtools will print the following message:
