grunt-chrome-extensions-reloaded

This grunt utility can help reload open chrome extensions (chrome://extensions) and therefore help you if you are developing a chrome extension. You will need to install chrome-cli to interface with Chrome.

How is this different from existing modules?

This work is based on an original idea by freedomflyer, check it out

Main differences:

• No other grunt task dependencies
• Some killer features such as: opening a tab if you don't have one open already. 😉
• No unit tests, no nothing

Getting Started

Install chrome-cli, something like:

brew install chrome-cli

Add the task to your list of project dependencies:

npm install grunt-chrome-extensions-reloaded --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, enable inside your Gruntfile.js:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-chrome-extensions-reloaded');

You can then run the task alone:

grunt chrome-extensions-reloaded

Or add it to your grunt-contrib-watch task:

watch: {
  js: {
    files: [
      'js/**/*.js'
    ],
    tasks: [
      'chrome_extensions_reloaded'
    ]
  }
}
