Install chrome extension using command line without confirmation prompt

[Hendra Wijaya]

I am trying to get all matched CSS rules for each DOM in a webpage for my research purpose. So I have created a Chrome Extension to get that data. I didn't get any problem if I run that extension for simple webpage I made. But when I run that extension for example youtube.com, I have waited for 10 minutes and my extension is still processing. So I want to try to run my extension on a VPS. But I got 1 problem, how can I install my extension on that VPS ? I have tried some way to install my extension on my laptop, and chrome always ask for confirmation prompt. Any idea ? Thank you

To get some code which loads a page and messes around with the dom, you'll need to have something that can run a headless type browser to do that (like perhaps using Mechanize in the ruby world); I don't think a chrome extension is the right call for that since the extension runs client side. 

On the other hand, I can't imagine DOM manip taking longer than 10 minutes, especially if you're just looking at a page and matching css rules. If you're interested in investigating more there, would be happy to look at that code and see if there's any room for optimization.

Thanks,

-Brian

Thanks for your fast response. I am doing on a research to optimized css for a page. So I have finished my code and I have generated an optimized css for a page. So I would like to test my result with another proven application to see whether my optimized css is correct or not. First I would like to use getMatchedCSSRules function to get matching rules, but I see that the function is deprecated. Then I follow the link to this forum and someone suggested using CSSUtilities library. So I use that library to get matching rules. So my point is to get all CSS properties that apply to each DOM so that I can programatically said that page with original CSS and page with my optimized CSS have the same display. And here is my extension code.

You can use the command line flag --load-extension=<PATH_TO_EXTENSION_SOURCE> to load an unpacked extension in developer mode.

Thanks for your reply Anthony. I have tried it but it seems not working too. I tried to run the command and it just popup a new chrome window and nothing happened

You need to make sure that chrome is completely shut down, with no background processes running (use process explorer, ps, etc. depending on your operating system), and then start it up again with this flag.

Okay thanks Anthony. I tried google-chrome --system-developer-mode --load-extension=/path/to/extension and it works.

BTW, --system-developer-mode seems to be some flag related to ChromeOS, which probably doesn't do anything if you're running on Mac/Windows/Linux.
