Where is chrome.storage.local stored for Chrome Apps in OSX yosemite?
I finally found it: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local App Settings/{{chrome-app-id}}. The whole {{chrome-app-id}} folder is a leveldb database. I was able to open it and inspect the contents of the stored file using the leveldb-ruby gem. Just do the following
require 'leveldb'
db = LevelDB:DB.new '~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local App Settings/{{chrome-app-id}}'
You can now query the database using the db object. By the way if you get a weird error saying that the db is being used by someone else make sure you kill chrome and erase the LOCK file.
localStorage is located in ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local Storage. You'll need the ID to find the correct files but they'll be prefixed with chrome- and have a file extension of .localstorage.
Based on some picking through the POSTMan App, it looks like it makes a call to chrome.storage.local and the data on my Mac is located here: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local App Settings/<ID>/000003.log.

I have a chrome extension that is installed via "Load unpacked extension," and I am trying to get it to delete itself or at least change its source code when a function is called. I have the chrome.management.uninstallSelf down, but I also need the source files for it to become changed/gone. Basically, I need the chrome extension to open the local file where its source is located and then delete/change some of the files inside it. Is there any way to do this?

No, this isn't normally* possible.
Chrome extensions have only read-only access to their own files (via chrome.runtime.getPackageDirectoryEntry or requests to chrome-extension://), and no access at all to the rest of the filesystem.
* All bets are off if you have a Native Host module though. It can do whatever, but would greatly complicate installation.
I'm working with localSharedObjects and want to inspect the files that are created on the user's machine. According the the documentation, localSharedObject files are stored on a Mac in the following location: /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/web_domain/path_to_application/application_name/object_name.sol
When I try to find the file, I cannot even get to: /Users/username/Library
as the Library file does not exist in that location. Also, I've been searching for files with a .sol extension, but without success.
My question: Where can I find loaclSharedObject files on a Mac running 10.7.5?
There is a Library folder that Mac OS X 10.7 hides. Go to Finder, hold down the Option key and select the Go menu. The Library folder will then appear and you can select it. If you wish to have permanent access to it, you can drag it into the Finder sidebar, or there's a Terminal command to get it to show permanently:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
I just lost all my changes to my google chrome plugin. However, the plugin is still running within the browser.
Where does Google Chrome store its cached copy of unpacked extensions?
I was able to find luck in:
Non-windows 7:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\<profile>\Extensions
-or-
Windows 7:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\<profile>\Extensions
EDIT: You can go to "chrome://version/" (like a url) and it shows your "Profile Path". There you can find an "Extensions" folder which is the one you're looking for.
Turns out that unpacked extensions are left in their original locations. Only packed extension get extracted to the places Alex.Piechowski mentioned.
On Linux (OpenSuse 12.3), I managed to find all my installed extensions here:
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/
It's important to first take note of the extension ID in case u wish to just copy a particular extension. For this, open chrome://extensions/ in your browser, copy the id of the extension of interest, and find it's directory under the extensions directory given above.
Being able to locally save copies of extensions like this has helped me to continue using (and even modifying / hacking) on extension that were eventually removed from the Chrome Store by either their owners or Google.
So I was debugging an extension I am building on Mac OS X and couldn't find the SQLite database in any of the standard locations. It doesn't store the DB in the path where the extension files live.
Here's where I found my database when running an unpacked extension:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/databases/http_foobar.com_0/XX
-Eric
User profiles are stored in User Data Directory and it vary depending on the operating system.
The easiest way is to navigate to chrome://version and look for the Profile Path field.
Example (Windows):
[Profile Path] C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
[User Data Dir] C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
Then Extensions are located under Extensions/ folder.
In windows:
Path: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 1\Extensions
(Here, you will not able to see extensions by name but it will be by extensions by Id. Extension Id you can get it from chrome→extension→Developer modes)
Or
Path: C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
Or
Download Extension Source Locator. Give your username. It will list out all the extension with path details.
Is it possible to open an sqlite file over http? I only need to read the db, and was hoping I could do something like:
var dbFile:File = new File("http://10.1.1.50/project/db.sqlite");
sqlConnection.open(dbFile);
Error #3125: Unable to open the database file.', details:'Connection closed.', operation:'open', detailID:'1001'
My situation calls for several apps compiled for various devices to share this file, which is served locally via wamp.
Zip your sqlite file from db.sqlite to db.zip. Load this zip file in flex using URLLoader and unzip it back in flex.
If not, you can also rename the file's extension to .xml, load it using httpservice or urlloader and once you get the result, you can rename the file's name back to .sqlite and start querying the file and it will work just fine.
There is no way you can achieve this over HTTP.
SqLite is a file and not a service/process that may be accessible via any port.
The best case scenario is when you have network access to the computer where the sqlite file is stored, like:
\\myserver\databases\mysqlitefile.db
...but this may work only on windows :(
You can adapt your code to use modsqlite http://modsqlite.sourceforge.net/#using
there's an apache module to allow remote sqlite access via http.

I am using HTML 5 Geolocations API's for tracking location however I am getting the following error on the Geolocation icon in Chrome Browser
"This Page has been blocked from tracking your Location"
I went to the Preferences and Setting's Page but did not find any help.
In my case the problem was that I opened the HTML file from the file system (file:///...). Browsers generally try to prevent accessing personal information (which includes location) from local files, so you have to serve the file through a web server (even if it is local).
One simple way to serve a static website located in your filesystem is SimpleHTTPServer if you have Python installed. Just navigate to the folder using the command prompt, and say python -m SimpleHTTPServer, and then you can view the file on localhost:8000.
Even I was facing the same problem. One of the solution is to open to file in another browser, I tried in Firefox and it worked fine. Another solution is to open the file through your WAMP server (Local host).
There is a good article here about Geolocation API. You have to go to chrome://settings/content and there, you can find Location information. You should be able to find the exceptions and manage them there.
