Cannot install from source

[dipietro-brittany]

I've attempted to download the source code directly from the latest release - 2.0.14. When trying to unpack from /src , I get errors for directory references inside of the manifest.json for different file locations being incorrect (like the png icons and such). When i fixe the references to their source repository locations, the app loads with errors.
What I don't understand is why there is a different folder structure for the released app and the source code. Is there something I need to do with my local source code to turn it into the same format as the extension code?

In this case when you just load extension in a browser, you have to use folder web-activity-time-tracker-2.0.14.zip. If you need to read or change source code from IDE you have to use data from folder Source code.

Thanks for such a quick response. I did have to alter the code slightly so I was trying to load from the Source code. But, when I try to load it from there, I get a lot of directory errors. I am a newbie to chrome extension package creation… is there something I need to do to make the “Source code” file system look like the “released” file system so that all of the directory references inside of the manifest relate properly? As the “source” code is right now, it’s unloadable as an extension. Do I need to do something with vite?On Jan 18, 2024, at 6:00 PM, Alex Khrisanfov ***@***.***> wrote: In this case when you just load extension in a browser, you have to use folder web-activity-time-tracker-2.0.14.zip.
