How do I get Chrome extension code to work with JetBrains Live Edit extension during development?

I'm trying to develop a Chrome extension in PHPStorm 8 and I would like for the code to work with the Live Edit feature the way a normal HTML/JS page would. However, I don't know how to configure it correctly so that I don't have to hit Reload on the Chrome extension page each time I make a change.

  • You have to manually reload the page to see the results - live edit doesn't force new code execution. To see the reference issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20439811/what-kind-of-changes-does-chrome-pick-up-using-live-edit – Dayton Wang Jan 20 '15 at 21:38
  • I just found that the `Extensions Reloader` Chrome extension is a slightly less annoying option over having to go to the Extensions page in Chrome and clicking `Reload`. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extensions-reloader/fimgfedafeadlieiabdeeaodndnlbhid?hl=en – eComEvo Jan 21 '15 at 18:57
