local extension config

[sjkaliski]

@leppert was wondering what your local config looked like for the chrome extension. i'm wrapping up some work on the back end for notifications and wanted to start integrating with the extension. i tried to add an unpackaged extension (i set up the shared folder, etc) but ran into manifest versioning issues (it wasn't including int he manifest). tried to do some adjusting, but figured you had a better sense of what might be going on.

@sjkaliski I have mine set up as an unpacked extension like you mentioned:

Chrome did give me a warning the last time I installed it, which is where https://github.com/leppert/reading/issues/310 originated, but it still allowed me to install. Where are you hitting a wall?

This is the error chrome is returning:

Could not load extension from '/Users/Stephen/Documents/Work/reading/reading-extensions/chrome'. The 'manifest_version' key must be present and set to 2 (without quotes). See developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifestVersion.html for details.

Maybe they've upgraded Chrome such that you can no longer install new manifest v1 extensions. Currently working on upgrading it.

Let me try an older version of chrome, or just work on firefox for a bit. Keep me posted on that

@sjkaliski the Chrome extension repo has been updated to manifest v2: https://github.com/leppert/reading-extensions/commit/4b8b765b1123660fe0b874ec16806d51624db25f. Would you mind kicking the tires, making sure it installs, before I push out to the Chrome Store?

@sjkaliski also, note the instructions for using the extension locally: https://github.com/leppert/reading-extensions#using-locally
