GWT Dev Plugin broke (Chrome/mac osx)

[Jambi]

Hey guys,

today I was starting my gwt app in Chrome and there appears a message that the dev plugin couldn´t be loaded. I think this could be the fault of an auto update... Does anyone else have this issue on Mac osx with Chrome 22.0.1229.79 and dev plugin 1.0.9738?

this drives me crazy oO!

[John]

YES!!  And I thought maybe uninstalling/reinstalling the plugin might help, but it doesn't reinstall. :(

[Jambi]

ah ok! have you figured out a convienient way to roll back the versioning? maybe someone has an idea which old version to use. I was trying an older beta but it still won´t work

[Jens]

It works with stable Chrome 21.x.xxx. Just don't use the Chrome Beta build.

No, just jumped over to Firefox.  What a pain!

[Jambi]

Thanks! It works!

You should also consider using Firefox during development. The DevMode plugin for Firefox is a lot faster than the Chrome plugin.

Yes, usually i do. But right now i´m developing with MGWT (so webkit only).

I've got it working! See https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-web-toolkit/jDg3KoXoVPc/9PcgFBvLJM8J

Thanks for the hint! I´ll try it later

Follow Thad's link to the other discussion and use Brandon's fix from there (installing last version of Chrome side-by-side with the latest). All other approaches were met with failure for me and although Firefox is much faster and more stable, I just can't stomach developing on that browser anymore except during cross-browser test waves prior to checkin. I imagine the GWT team will get the plugin fixed in the next few days and the old version of Chrome in question is only about 4 weeks old so not a big deal.

Also, so you don't spend time figuring it out you are looking for chrome v21.0.1180.89. That was the version prior to v22.0.1229.79 that was released yesterday that broke dev mode.

Still have the same problem. Is anyone going to fix it?

Any update on this?

Hmm, now works fine on Chrome Version 22.0.1229.94. Thanks!
