09/07/2023, 5:01 PMHi y'all! We just set up Growthbook and we are really excited! I tried to set up the Chrome browser extension but I'm getting errors in the console and the extension doesn't open:
GET <https://cfrp-growthbook-msinfra-gitlab-bot-test.wattbuy.com/sub/sdk-xr00JmwSfLVE60DD> net::ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR 200quiet-spring-78839
09/07/2023, 5:04 PMThe extension asks for the API host and the API secret. Should I be using the SDK connection host and client key? Or setting up an API key?

09/07/2023, 5:48 PMHi @quiet-spring-78839 You must be using an older version of our self-hosted app ... You'll need to generate an API key for that to work. However, if you update to latest, that flow has been eliminated to be completely streamlined with no API key generation necessary.

09/07/2023, 5:49 PMHuh. I don't think we are self-hosting. We are on the free plan, though.

09/07/2023, 5:50 PMThat's weird. Can you relay to me the version of your Chrome Extension then?

09/07/2023, 5:51 PMCould you send me a screenshot of where the extension is asking for the API host and key?

09/07/2023, 5:53 PMAh, okay. Those are usually automatically set. And they are only used for the Visual Editor only. I would clear them out for now in your case. This is probably an improvement we can be clear about this in the modal..

quiet-spring-78839
09/07/2023, 5:54 PMOhhhh ok. Strange. Well, when I don't have them, the extension also doesn't work. Should it render as a sidebar on the site if things are working correctly?
s
swift-helmet-3648
09/07/2023, 5:55 PMThe sidebar is the Visual Editor. That can only be opened from a GrowthBook experiment page

09/07/2023, 5:55 PMThe Devtools feature is in the Chrome Devtools panel, which you'll have to open up

09/07/2023, 6:22 PM@swift-helmet-3648 ok even though I found the location in the Chrome dev tools, it seems like we are unable to connect. I confirmed with my engineer that we are not doing self-hosted but are using a reverse proxy. Could that be related?

09/07/2023, 6:30 PMAnother question from him:
quiet-spring-78839
09/07/2023, 6:30 PM"I wonder if I have to call loadFeatures to connect in the browser? I'm loading things server side and then just initializing growthbook in the client with the features we loaded on the server. So I never call
loadFeaturesquiet-spring-78839
09/07/2023, 6:31 PMMaybe that could be related?
s
swift-helmet-3648
09/07/2023, 6:31 PMYes, you'll need to call loadFeatures in the browser for DevTools to recognize the SDK
