When in doubt, refresh the profile page before using this tool.

If I'm trying to assist you in solving an issue with this tool, I might have you share some debug info. Currently, the easiest way to do this is to use the Chrome developer's console:

1. Append ?li2jr_debug=true to the end of the URL of the profile you are on.
2. Open Chrome dev tools, and specifically, the console (instructions).
3. Run the extension (try to generate the connection request), and then look for red messages that show up in the console (these are errors, as opposed to warnings or info logs).
   • You can filter to just error messages, in the filter dropdown above the console.

This project was inspired by the JSON Resume Browser Tool.

npm run build:browserext will transpile and copy all the right files to ./build-browserext, which you can then side-load into your browser. If you want to produce a single ZIP archive for the extension, npm run package-browserext will do that.

Use build-browserext-debug for a source-map debug version. To get more console output, append li2jr_debug=true to the query string of the LI profile you are using the tool with.

For understanding some peculiarities of the LI API, see LinkedIn-Dev-Notes-README.md.

Debugging the extension is a little cumbersome, because of the way Chrome sandboxes extension scripts and how code has to be injected. An alternative to setting breakpoints in the extension code itself, is to copy the output of /build/main.js and run it via the console.
