How to enable syncing and non-syncing bookmarks for testing purposes?

[Idris Cheikh]

Hello,

I would like to test my extension with regard to the breaking changes to the bookmarks API described in this blog post. Unfortunately, I have not been able to enable syncing and non-syncing bookmarks in the bookmarks tree.

I have tried to create bookmarks on an account that is not signed in, sign in without turning sync on, and create bookmarks again. I only ever see the regular UI with one `Bookmarks bar` folder and one `Other bookmarks` folder.

I have tried enabling sync, disabling sync, signing in, signing out, but none of this has worked so far.

Could you please describe the exact steps I must follow to be able to enable and disable these syncing and non-syncing subtrees as many times as I would need to thoroughly test my extension?

I am on Windows, Chrome Version 143.0.7499.193 (Official Build) (64-bit).

Thank you very much for your support.

Kind regards,
Idris

Hi Idris,

Have you enabled the Chrome flags mentioned in the blog post on the chrome://flags page?

• sync-enable-bookmarks-in-transport-mode
• enable-bookmarks-selected-type-on-signin-for-testing

Hello Oliver,

Thank you for the prompt response. I tried to, but no such flags appeared in the page. I just verified again, and I see, for both flags, under both the `Available` and `Unavailable` tabs, the message `No matching experiments`.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Idris
