Simple answer: The webpack extensions used in this plugin claim livereload, but not Hot module reload. Nothing automatically refreshes your browser view for you when you make code changes.
More complicated answer: At present, nothing will reload the extension popup, options, or other pages. The webpack extension author does a good job explaining at a high level what it does.
So, if it doesn't refresh the page for you, then what is it doing?
If you were to remove the webpack-extention-reloader
plugin, here are the manual steps you would have to take every time you made a change to your code:
- vue-cli/webpack already handle the rebuild of your application
- go to the extensions page
- locate your extension
- click refresh (in chrome it is available at a top level as a circular arrow)
- resume what you were doing, presumably in a separate tab
It doesn't seem like much, but by removing the need to constantly refresh the extension in the browser the development process is a little more streamlined, time will overall be saved, and it is easier for developers to develop browser extensions.
I do think you're right that the docs can be updated to clarify this better. Even though I wrote them, it took me a while to find the footnote about HMR not being supported. Some of my regular work is ramping down and I think I can dedicate some more time to maintenance here, as it looks like there are a few places for improvement, as well as much more community feedback than when I originally started.
