Chromium localStorage not showing in Developer Tools

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, meaning its clearly there. Am I missing something or does this seem to be a bug I couldn't find anything about?

enter image description here

I am using Chromium Version 57.0.2978.0 (64-bit)

The workaround described in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=701413#c59 worked for me:

If the active tab when opening DevTools is 'Application', then it always fails. However, if the active tab is any of the other tabs, then it actually works as expected and loads Local Storage values. So my solution is to select 'Console' tab, then close and reopen DevTools, and it works.

I have encountered the same issue on my MAC. Open settings in dev tools and restore to the default view.

Workaround: re-open the Dev Tool, that is press F12 twice. Tested on Ubuntu Chrome 58.

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.

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. Chrome Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit) MacOS.
