Cannot Load Unpacked Extension?

[Ben Salerno]

I'm getting started on my first extension using the Chrome tutorial and got tripped up almost immediately. Says to click Load Unpacked and then select the file path to the manifest file. However, when I click Load Unpacked nothing shows up; no file explorer or even an error message. There's no change to the screen. Any understanding on why this might be happening?

This is an odd behavior as after you click on "Load Unpacked" you should get your operating systems File Expolorer window. Try restarting your Chrome and see if the problem persists.

Have you tried:

- open chrome://extensions
- be sure Developer Mode is on (slider, top right)
- drag the folder that contains manifest.json into the window, wait for "drop to install," and then drop?

It's possible this has been blocked by the administrator - you can get around this by packaging the extension on chrome://extensions and moving in the CRX to the window, this will allow you to test it.
