- Open one terminal and run
npm run dev- This runs webpack and reloads the bundle on every file change.
- Open a second terminal and run
npm start- This starts Firefox Nightly with the plugin installed and reloads the plugin on every file change.
- You must have Firefox Nightly installed. Some Nightly versions used to cause some issues. The version that works for me without problems is
74.0a1. - Alternatively, you can use Chrome and load an unpacked extension pointing to the
builddirectory. Make sure to reload the extension after every file change.
- When using Firefox I suggest opening the Browser Console with the shortcut
CTRL + Shift + J - Make sure to click the Cog Icon and enable Show Content Messages. This makes the log statements from the code show up in the console.
