Could not load manifest

Congrats on the reviving Type-X!

Trying to install but running into a issue
On the latest Chrome
Version 141.0.7390.66 (Official Build) (arm64)
and in developer mode

Failed to load extension
File
~/Desktop/type-x-0.2.3
Error
Manifest file is missing or unreadable
Could not load manifest.

@gorjious, you have to load the src folder inside the type-x-0.2.3 folder. Manifest file is located inside the src folder along with the extension's source code.

With that said, I was able to install it, but unfortunately none of the buttons in the extension pop-up are doing anything. Console looks empty too. I'm using the same build of Chrome – Version 141.0.7390.66.

I might be able to look into this issue further a bit later.

Ah okay. That got it to install but the buttons are also not working for me

Seeing this error

[minortext]

Cool! I have also noticed this error section now. It's been a while since I've used any extensions... 🙈

Okay, so this is error is popping up, because it turns out src needs to be built first (duh)...

To get it working: open Terminal inside the type-x-0.2.3 folder, run npm i && npm run build.
Then just load the resulting dist folder that appears as the extension into Chrome.
Hope that helps!

Hey @gorjious and @minortext, thanks for taking time to try this out and discuss! I had forgotten to add the release zip to the latest release for a few days, last week, so you may have hit trouble there. This was just a total blunder on my part, and not obvious, and I’m sorry to have caused confusion.

Could I perhaps ask you to try again, with either the release zip typex-extension.zip, or from the Chrome Web Store?
