Hello folks,

I always use to develop with GWT and debug in Firefox - now I wanted to switch to Google Chrome.

If I try to run the debug with Chrome it always says -> "Development Mode requires the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin"

So I wanted to download the Plugin. As I was finished Chrome prompts something about extensions and plugins can only be installed via Chrome Web Store. So I searched through the store, but wasn't able to find a DevPlugin.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks J.

I finally made it with adding "--enable-easy-off-store-extension-install" to the shortcut of Chrome.

Best regards,

On Friday I added the latest Chrome plugin to the Chrome Web Store. Try installing it from there:


Also, for some reason, upgrading to the new plugin loses your preferences for the hostnames that Dev Mode is allowed to connect to. So you'll have to add them again. Sorry about that!

If it's not connecting and the toolkit icon on the right side of URL bar is gray instead of red, click on the gray icon to pop up the dialog to add the hostname.

An alternate way to get to the same options page:

2. Find the entry for GWT Developer Plugin
3. Click on "Options".

Yep, I'm seeing the same thing here.  Using that startup flag provides no relief, the plugin is install but will not run.

This is not working.Added that on the shortcut target, got the exact same error. Pretty lame, a plugin made by google doesn't work with their own browser. Everybody knows the solution, wright? Switch to mozilla. Always worked for me.

I followed Brian's advice: If it's not connecting and the toolkit icon on the right side of URL bar is gray instead of red, click on the gray icon to pop up the dialog to add the hostname.

My toolkit icon was gray, so I clicked it and did the obvious stuff and it all started working, again.

Everything was working a week ago and suddenly today I gettting same problem -- Chrome now displays the "Download the GWT developer plugin for chrome" dialog as if the plugin was never installed/

If I go to settings I can clearly see the GWT developer plugin is installed in Chrome as an extension.  If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated

Thanks in advanced
