How to test changes you've made to the extension

Jon McLaren edited this page Dec 27, 2018 · 1 revision

The easiest way to do this is to clone the repo to your computer. After that simply open chrome://extensions in your browser. Click to toggle on Developer Mode. Click Load Unpacked, choose the folder for the extension. Huzzah, any changes you make to this folder will get reflected in the extension in the browser.

Make sure to temporarily disable the stable or beta versions of the extension while testing.

If you're not seeing your updates right away, sometimes a little "reload" icon will show on the extension in chrome://extensions next to the extension.

If your build of the extension is throwing errors, often you'll see a red button appear saying "errors".

Thank you for testing!!!!!
