This directory contains accessibility extensions developed by the
Chrome team, not included with Chrome by default, but available via a
one-click install from the Settings page.
#
# Building
#
Some of the extensions have localized strings and need to be built:
ninja -C out/Release ui/accessibility/extensions:extensions
The built extensions will be in your out directory, e.g.:
out/Release/colorehancer
All other extensions should be zipped and uploaded to the webstore.
Note for chromevoxclassic:
see chromevoxclassic/README for further details.
You can build all extension tests by doing:
ninja -C out/Release ui/accessibility/extensions:extension_tests
This currently produces tests for ChromeVox Classic, Color Enhancer,
and Caret Browsing.
out/Release/chromevox_tests
out/Release/colorenhancer_tests
out/Release/caretbrowsing_tests
These targets are not run on a bot, so run the relevant tests manually
before release!
#
# Instructions for publishing to the web store (new as of August 2019):
#
Googlers, you need to be a member of the chrome-a11y-extensions group:
https://groups.google.com/a/google.com/d/forum/chrome-a11y-extensions
Then visit the Chrome Web Store and you can manage the extension. Remember to
increment the version of each extension every time you update it.
#
# Script
#
This script can be used to programmatically update extensions. Proceed with caution,
only use this if you are already comfortable updating an extension manually, you have a
rollback plan, and you can take the time to understand the script.
