Travis autoupload guide

With this setup, you can automatically deploy your extension when creating a tag.

Setup

0. Enable your repo on travis

1. Create a .travis.yml file and set your EXTENSION_ID:

   language: node_js
   node_js:
     - '7'
   env:
     - EXTENSION_ID=kbbbjimdjbjclaebffknlabpogocablj
   deploy:
     provider: script
     script: npm run release
     on:
       branch: master
       tags: true

2. Create your release script in package.json:

   {
     "devDependencies": {
       "chrome-webstore-upload-cli": "^2.0.0"
     },
     "scripts": {
       "release": "chrome-webstore-upload upload --source=path/to/extension --auto-publish"
     }
   }

Usage

0. Update the version in your manifest.json, otherwise the publish will fail.
1. Create a git tag via cli or via GitHub's interface

Done! Travis should run the release npm script and your version should appear on the webstore soon after.
