I found a hack on how to reload automatically my extension.
1) Go to chrome://extensions/
2) Open the javascript console (Shift + Ctrl + J)
3) Insert this code
function reloadme() { chrome.send('reload',
['jcdgncnemfmkbnnjikmghninhihflkhj']); }
window.setInterval('reloadme()', 1000);
cdgncnemfmkbnnjikmghninhihflkhj is your extension ID
1000 milliseconds
Use window.clearInterval(X) to clear it up
I think it is possible to automate the process using iMacros
http://www.chromeextensions.org/other/imacros-for-chrome/
but I can't figure out an easy way to set the intervals.
Anyway, this should make your life easier and the whole extension developing
experience less frustrating
Cheers,
