I'm debugging an application which uses React.js, the Chrome Extensions list clearly shows that the React Developer Tools are installed, and when i access the React site at http://facebook.github.io/react/ i can clearly see a React tab in the developer tools window. Yet when i'm debugging my application i see this in the console:

Download the React DevTools for a better development experience: http://fb.me/react-devtools React.js:87

Can someone tell me how to get it to use the React Developer Tools?

thanks!

You no longer need to do anything.

For older react versions, the main requirement is that window.React is set. If you're using a module system:

if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {

    window.React = React;

}

This should usually be done in your main source file.
