This repository contains source code for the Chrome Gerrit Monitor extension.
This is the first Chrome extension I've ever wrote, so I would not recommend using it as an example on how to write a good extension.
The extension polls the gerrit servers registered every five minutes and update the extension badge. On click, it also polls the server to display the popup (and refresh the badge).
This extension has been developed primarily for my work on Chromium, so it should work as provided for this gerrit installation. It may fail for other server, especially if they have not enabled the JSON rest API.
The extension tries to limit as much as possible the permission that it requests. By default, it needs no permission, and will request the permission to access pages from gerrit servers the user has configured.
The simplest way to install the extension is to visit the Chrome Web Store and click the install button.
If you want to develop the extension, then you can check out this repo,
navigation to chrome://extensions, and use the "Load unpacked" to point
to the checkout src/ directory.
To deploy, you can use the deploy.py script or use the "Pack extension"
button from chrome://extensions.
Installing Gerrit Monitor is not enough to start getting push notifications; you need to configure the extension for all Gerrit hosts that interest you.
After downloading the extension, click on it and click the button saying "Grant permissions".
From here, a page will load where you can enable any Gerrit instances that interest you. Click the checkbox on the "Enabled?" column to enable Chromium or Fuchsia, or custom add additional instances using the boxes at the bottom.
Attention Set support in Gerrit Monitor is experimental. If interested, switch either or both boxes to "Enabled".
