submit chrome dev mode plugin to chrome web store?

[Daniel Kurka]

Hi everyone,

today at work I was setting up a GWT installation on windows for a new coworker and noticed that with chrome 21 we can not install extension anymore. (They need to be in the chrome web store). I also noticed an issue popping up on the issue tracker on the exact same thing: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=7569

Does anyone have this covered or are we just hearing about this change to chrome right now?

Hi,

A quick fix that might help:

1. right click on the chrome icon>Properties>Shortcut
2. add in target: --enable-easy-off-store-extension-install
3. open chrome and navitage to extensions ( chrome://chrome/extensions/ )
4. drag and drop on it the plugin (should be in your download folder
if you tried to install it before and didn't succeed)

Regards,
Istvan

Hey Daniel,

We do need to post the chrome devmode plugin to the webstore. I'll take care of that this week.

I also need to rebuild the devmode plugin, as there were some fixes that went into it a while back that were never put into a distributable binary.

@Rajeev, you mentioned that you were going to post the plugin to the Chrome store.  Is that still the plan, or did you run into some issues there?

I'm working on some documentation that is about to go to press, and just want to make sure I have the right instructions in there.

Thanks.

Sorry, this totally fell off the plate. 

Daniel, would you be able to submit it to the Chrome Webstore?

Hi Rajeev,

I just gave it a try and it seems that we need to do some actual changes to make this work. The chrome web store is complaining about the manifest version of the plugin:

> An error occurred: Manifest version 1 is unsupported. Please upgrade to manifest version 2.

I will give this another look tomorrow. It`s getting too late in Germany right now.

Ok, so it looks like we'll have to go ahead and rebuild the crx on our side. I've added Brian, who has been playing around with the crx build process.

Yep, back on the Chrome plugin this week.

Where do we actually store all the files for a new build on svn?

If you mean the libraries, they are in the /plugin-sdks directory (a sibling to /trunk).  They are add-only, like /tools, and separate since few people should need to build the plugins.

I was actually looking for the c / c++ code of the chrome plugin. This got me confused: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/npapi/README.txt

Are we using the npapi for building the chrome plugin?
