content_script not updating

[riccardoferretti]

Once I load the extension in chrome, changes to content_script.ts don't seem to live reload.
A few notes:

• the generated file dist/js/content_script.js is updated
• changes to background.ts are propagated if I refresh the devtools for the background "page"
• changes to the popup are propagated if I close and reopen the popup

I have tried:

• reloading the page
• opening/closing the popup
• clicking "update" in the extensions panel

None of that worked, the only thing that worked was removing and re-adding the extension.

Any idea of why I have having this issue?
Thanks!

I actually just found a little reload icon from the extensions list page, which did the trick.

Still wondering, is this the way to do it? Is there a way to trigger the refresh automatically?

@riccardoferretti , yes that's how we're supposed to do. Chrome plugin once built is not automatically reloaded.
