cannot load extension manually (Brave)

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I have forked the project and am trying to load the extension by selecting the git repo under extensions > load unpacked.

This gives me this error

Failed to load extension
File
~/code/Surfingkeys
Error
Could not load javascript 'content_scripts/modules.min.js' for content script.
Could not load manifest.

The same error also occurs if I try to pack the Surfingkeys extension.

I have never loaded an extension manually before so I might be missing something obvious I’m thinking. I am selecting the whole Surfingkeys repo directory under load unpacked.

Yeah, a bit annoying but I believe it’s a security measure. More info: https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/signing-and-distribution-overview/

Embarassing. I totally missed this but of course this makes sense now. Thanks for telling me b0o! I feel like I must have been totally blind because now that I see it it is quite obvious 😄
