I have developed on plugin by using google chrome extension API.
By using "Load unpacked extension" button I can install the my plugin in to chrome browser,
I will get 3 option in the "Reload", "Disable" and "Uninstall".
How can I disable Reload option for my extension. I am attaching the image for reference
Thanks.
You cant.
Although theoretically you could write a NPAPI plugin that would do this I recommend against it.

Is there a better way to keep removing and reloading "unpacked" chrome extension when doing development? I found myself doing this for a very long period of time already and start to think this doesn't feel like the "right way" to develop it. There must be a way it would automatically "compile" right?
I use the following chrome extension to reload all unpacked chrome extensions during development, when pressing the extension icon in the topbar.
Extensions Reloader
Additionally the options page for the extension provides a feature to reload the active tab, when pressing the extension icon.
Hope it helps.
I am able to launch Chrome browser with extension in the browser. But I am not able to interact with the extension.
When I launch Chrome browser manually, I go to chrome://extensions and configure command for that extension and set short cut like "Alt+H" to launch the extension from short cut and after hitting Alt+H the extension gets invoked.
But when I launch chrome browser with extension using watir webdriver, the configure command setting for that extension is not set. After I set that manually again to "Alt+H" and try to invoke the extension on the browser which is launched using watir-webdriver, I don't see extension getting invoked.
Please let me know how can I interact with the chrome extension using watir-webdriver.
I do not think watir can interact with the extensions. It can only interact with the page. But, I could be wrong. I had moderate success with Sikuli when I needed to do something like that.
I'm looking for a way to quickly test and debug Google Chrome extensions. Is there any way to add an "edit source" button next to each extension on the Chrome Extensions page, using an extension?
The TamperMonkey extension allows all installed userscripts to be viewed and edited within Chrome- this is the best "work-around" that I've found for this problem so far. I don't yet know whether it can synchronize scripts between Chrome installations - hopefully this feature will be implemented soon.
Is there any shortcut or an extension to reload extensions in Chrome? This is a really big pain while developing extension for Chrome.
I think the best way to do this is to actually open the popup in a page. To do this use the URL:
chrome-extension://{extension-id}/{page.html}
This allows you to use Chrome Developer tools and when you press refresh the extension is refreshed with the latest code changes. It also updated the extension popup.
I have Google Chrome and the extensions installed on it. I would like to reduce number of extension buttons on Chrome panel.
For this I want to create my plugin which will display popup window and allow to run another extension installed on my browser?
Is it possible and where I can find examples?
The messaging API has an external extension feature. You can use that communicate between extensions.
