ICWS Chrome Devtools Extension

Purpose

When developing for Interaction Connect, a lot of ICWS server calls are made back and forth across the wire between the server and the client. This extension attempts to alleviate some of the difficulties and annoyances involved in digging through the network traffic logs by bringing the relevant information up to the forefront and removing irrelevant clutter.

Build & Upload Instructions

1. Increase the version number in manifest.json. IF YOU DON’T DO THIS THE APP WON’T AUTO-UPDATE FOR USERS.
2. Either run make in the root directory, or just zip the ./icws-panel folder to generate the archive file.
3. Go to the chrome developer dashboard and log in.
4. There should be a listing for the extension, including an “Edit” link. Click the link, then click on the “Upload Updated Package” button.
5. Choose the .zip file you made earlier and press “Upload”.
6. Scroll to the bottom, press “Publish”, and the updates will be available on the chrome store. Congratulations!
