Failed to install unpacked extension

[Cordifhyura]

While got a git clone and have connector installed.I failed to install unpacked extension under "extension" folder in chrome-gnome-shell directory on Chromium.Here's the issue:

Failed to load extension from: /home/ducanoidyoung/chrome-gnome-shell/extension Value 'key' is missing or invalid.

Using Chromium 65 on ubuntu 18.04

Why do you think it should work? Build extension first using cmake as described in Installation guide [1], but do not pass -DBUILD_EXTENSION=OFF option. Ready to use extensions for Chrome/Firefox/Opera will be in build folder.

Feel free to reopen this issue if you have any questions.

Found a python script named chrome-gnome-shell in build folder after built extension. Got no idea about what's going to do next.Should I unpack it or something goes wrong?

What command did you used to build extension? Also post command output here.

As I said before - do not pass -DBUILD_EXTENSION=OFF option to cmake.

Your build command should be

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../

or

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DBUILD_CONNECTOR=OFF ../

if you do not need connector

Sorry for misunderstanding but here's the new issue: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../ -- Found base64: /usr/bin/base64 -- Found sha256sum: /usr/bin/sha256sum -- Found ghead: /usr/bin/head -- Found tr: /usr/bin/tr -- Found jq: /usr/bin/jq -- Calculated Chrome extension id: gphhapmejobijbbhgpjhcjognlahblep -- Calculated Opera extension id: olkooankbfblcebocnkjganpdmflbnbk CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:66 (message): Could NOT find 7z.

Just install p7zip

[Cordifhyura]

Thanks,now I got the extension,and have the connector built. But right now my connector can't be detected. Should I do some additional settings to open the connector?

Should I do some additional settings to open the connector?

Nothing special. It should be just installed. Using distro package or manually.
