Is it possible to run a chrome extension from command line? I need to automate the process for my software, and my software will need to run that extension with a particular parameter.
I am using a Chrome Extension 'APK Downloader' by Yogi. The Extension works like this:- "If a page contains any .apk file link, then when I click on the extension's icon on the address bar, it starts direct download of that .apk file"
Now, I have my software that needs some .apk file to download [The software will have the package name of the .apk file to be downloaded, which is used by the extension to generate a download link]. It will be an automatic process. So, I need to know if it is possible to pass a parameter to the extension automatically, and make the extension to work without clicking on it.
Is it possible to do so??

Unpacked extension can be loaded using the --load-extension= flag.
What I usually do is chromium --user-data-dir=/tmp/someuniquedirname --load-extension=path/to/extension --no-first-run.
- The
--user-data-dir=flag is used to specify a non-default user data directory, to minimize conflicts between your existing browser profile and the test directory. You can omit this flag if you want to use your default user profile. - The
--no-first-runflag prevents the first run UI from showing up (e.g. the bubble that explains how to use the omnibox, and a "Getting Started" page that opens in a new tab).
You can load multiple extensions by separating the paths by commas, e.g. chromium --load-extension=path/to/one/extension,path/to/another/extension.
I have published some shell scripts and a convenience extension to speed up (manual) testing of Chrome extensions. Take a look at https://github.com/Rob--W/extension-dev-tools/tree/master/chrome.
