I saw this question: How do I auto-reload a Chrome extension I'm developing?

But I didn't find anything useful there. I tried to get something working bu I don't like it very much. There must be some other way by now, it has been 2 years since initial question was asked.

So, is there any application or extension that would allow me to reload extension on file change?

  • That, however, is not quite how SO works. To request updated answers, the customary path is a bounty. Now we have a situation when users post identical answers on both and get slapped by moderators. Dupehammering this. – Xan Nov 07 '16 at 14:59
  • @Xan Thanks. Didn't quite undestand how SO works back then. – Aleksandar Toplek Nov 07 '16 at 21:13
  • No problem! But because we have a demonstrable case where this leads to copy-paste answering, it's best to close it. – Xan Nov 07 '16 at 21:16

You could try Tincr. It allows you to edit/save the code directly in browser and auto-reload on changes.

You can use "Extensions Reloader" for Chrome:

Reload all unpacked extensions using the extension's toolbar button or by browsing to "http://reload.extensions"

If you've ever developed a Chrome extension, you might have wanted to automate the process of reloading your unpacked extension without the need of going through the extensions page.

"Extensions Reloader" allows you to reload all unpacked extensions

using 2 ways: 1 - The extension's toolbar button. 2 - Browsing to "http://reload.extensions".

The toolbar icon will reload unpacked extensions using a single click.

The "reload by browsing" is intended for automating the reload process using "post build" scripts - just add a browse to "http://reload.extensions" using Chrome to your script, and you'll have a refreshed Chrome window.
