Cannot launch a app with Chrome extension with forge (trigger.io)

Question

I have created the app with forge, and have added in the chrome extension, but when i run with chrome, always show the following errors:

Currently it is not possible to launch a Chrome extension via this interface.
The required steps are:

    1) Go to chrome:extensions in the Chrome browser
    2) Make sure "developer mode" is on (top right corner)')
    3) Use "Load unpacked extension" and browse to D:\mobile-app\test/development/chrome

but I really done with above steps, I don't know what happen.

and I want to know how can I use difference Android sdk and resolution simulator with testing?

thanks!

Answer 1

Chrome doesn't a way for us to automatically install browser extensions. Therefore, you have to install your extension manually.

To do that, in Chrome (see image below):

1. type chrome:extensions in the address bar
2. turn on developer mode
3. click Load unpacked extension

If you have a separate question about Android SDKs, probably best to ask that in a different thread, or contact support@trigger.io.

Answer 2

I had the same issue, using:

forge run chrome

to try to run the app in the Chrome web browser. I thought the 3 steps given were to install an extension which would then allow forge run chrome to launch the web application. I couldn't understand why, after installing the extension (with no button defined of course), nothing seemed to change. I didn't realise a Chrome extension version of my app, appearing on the toolbar, was even possible!

I should have used:

forge run web

to launch the app in the (default) browser.
