chrome://inspect devtools does not interact with WSL when displaying files

Reported by paulfris...@gmail.com, Sep 20

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. start a nodejs server via bash on WSL (windows subsystem for linux)
2. go to chrome://inspect and click
3. click on the Sources tab in the devtools 

What is the expected behavior?
You can see and navigate all source files that the server is using.

What went wrong?
The devtools know that server.js is at file:///mnt/c/Users/.../Documents/.../server.js but it cannot do anything with this information.

It does know about the WSL filesystem.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.100  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

This would be a nice accessibility feature.

Could you attach a screenshot of Sources panel?
hmm it seems to work now, at least it is doing the same as happens when I work with the Windows version of node

Initially, there will be no files and then I can click on a filename that is displayed e.g. after a log entry and it will open the file

The only difference is that "Open in containing folder" does not work with the WSL (windows subsystem for linux) version of node...
