I expect the file to open and the add-in to be sideloaded in it.

Current behavior

The document opens and I get the following two prompts, but the add-in is not sideloaded. I have to manually sideload it.

The first dialog is the explanation . . . you have to enable developer mode in order to automatically sideload add-ins.

@millerds We did that. So, that's not the problem. Is there a way to confirm that developer mode has been enabled? Something to see in the registry maybe?

I'm facing the same issue w/ chrome

Operating System: Arch Linux Node version: 16.13.2 / 17.4.0 Tool version: latest

Browser opening up w/ given document. But no add-in to be found.

[millerds]

I don't know how to verify developer mode is enabled other than the dialog asking for it should disappear. If you check the box and click OK does that dialog box show up again?
