Failure Logs
Please include any relevant log snippets, screenshots or code samples here.
The first dialog is the explanation . . . you have to enable developer mode in order to automatically sideload add-ins.
@millerds We did that. So, that's not the problem. Is there a way to confirm that developer mode has been enabled? Something to see in the registry maybe?
I'm facing the same issue w/ chrome
Operating System: Arch Linux Node version: 16.13.2 / 17.4.0 Tool version: latest
Browser opening up w/ given document. But no add-in to be found.
I don't know how to verify developer mode is enabled other than the dialog asking for it should disappear. If you check the box and click OK does that dialog box show up again?
