Chrome extensions chrome profile issue?
- Live
 |
Jeremy |
I tried it, but after I add an extension to a Chrome profile it gets saved and when I reopen that Chrome profile I see the extension, but if I start an automation with that Chrome profile, the extension is not there. Also if I relaunch Taskmagic and check the Crome profile, the extension is gone. Do you know what the problem can be?

A patch was deployed for chrome profiles not persisting on windows / extensions not saving. Extensions are still in an unstable state but they should function as expected in normal headed automations

Why I would use Proxies when I can use a VPN directly in the browser as an extension?
Kyle
Extensions are unsupported in headless mode / from cloud is one reason you may not want to
Greg
Would love an update on the release as well.

It looks like this is only present when you are recording a brand new automation. We will push a fix for this shortly
As a workaround, if you are recording a brand new automation just add a step going to google.com and then click "i'm done". Then you can click the + icon and record and it will launch the browser with the chrome extension
Tas
ok, thanks, will try

Unfortunately it does not work. I created a new automation with the visiting google step, then added a new chrome profile with the extension, but when I try to edit the automation, the extension is gone. What is more, when I open the chrome profile, the extension is missing from there.
Please help with this, I have a time limit for this automation to work, this would be my first real life use case of Taskmagic and it is sad that it does not work. Thanks
Tas
any updates on this? thanks
Kyle
Hi Tas,
We are releasing an update before the end of the week that modifies the chrome extension installation process since the extensions do seem to be removed after some time. We will have this released asap

Im glad that the CEO is using its own tool and struggling with the same issues we are. Please stop breaking the thing that works or give us a way to report the issue and go back to the last stable version.

He is passing on a user report that we are struggling to recreate just to give you some context :) The below video is from us on the production version of the app
