Got it working in Windows after Summer '25 release per other reviewers suggestions; however, on Mac, it doesn't load in Lightning. I hope this gets fixed so I can change my review.
Joe Smith I only found 1 line, any other tricks?
I found a fix for the URI Mismatch error. When you run into the page with the following error: Error: error=redirect_uri_mismatch&error_description=redirect_uri%20must%20match%20configuration 1. Press F12 2. Go to Console 3. Look for the following two lines 1st: chrome-extension://token1/callback.html 2nd: chrome-extension://token2/callback.html 4. copy the token2 string between "chrome-extension://" and "/callback.html" in the second line 5. replace the two instances of token1 in your url bar with token2 and press Enter
I made changes as per Alan comments but getting error while authorising the developer org by selecting Developer in Org Type. Error: error=redirect_uri_mismatch&error_description=redirect_uri%20must%20match%20configuration
HUGE shoutout to Alan Garcia (alnandr) for the temp fix - THAAANNNKKKK YOOOOUUUU - we are back in business
I've never written a review but didn't realize how much I needed this extension until it wasn't working. Shoutout to Alan Garcia (alnandr) for posting the fix, I can confirm it works.
This extension is still fully functional, the issue is that Salesforce changed the name of the setup header element in the Spring '25 release that caused the injection to break. To anyone reading this who wants to get the advanced code searcher to work again in the meantime until the developer pushes an update, follow these steps: 1. Uninstall the extension from Chrome either from the nav bar or from chrome://extensions 2. Use a "CRX Extractor/Downloader" tool extension to download this Chrome extension as a ZIP file. 3. Extract the ZIP file contents to a folder somewhere you'll keep it long-term (i.e., Documents folder). 4. Open the contentScript_l.js file in the root directory using a text editor or IDE like VS Code. 5. On lines 16 and 29, replace ".onesetupHelpBanner" with ".onesetupSetupHeader" and save the file. 6. Navigate to chrome://extensions in your browser and enable developer mode. 7. Select "Load unpacked" and choose the extracted root directory from step 2. 8. Load Salesforce Setup in Lightning again and voila, the extension works again! Hope this helps everyone :)
Broken since Winter 25'. Please fix. everyone email [email protected] to get it fixed.
After the new release the extension's UI disappeared. Please fix it urgently.
I gave it a 5 because I love this extension. It doesn't work for me any longer. Maybe Winter 2025 release caused the issue. Please fix.
This extension has been a huge help! With some Salesforce orgs moving to a "salesforce-setup.com" url for Setup pages in Lightning, the extension's allowed sites needs to be updated to continue working.
Unable to login through "Use org domain for login"
Great tool! Having the LWC Editor in-browser is awesome! The code search is super handy and the GraphQL is a bonus. Thank you very much!
Hi, This tool is really great, but from today I am receiving weird error when I try search piece of code in Apex Classes (Tab - Search Code). Some error occured while query for data TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'records') Are you able to check what is wrong?
But how can I save my changes made with the LWC editor?
LWC editor is an outstanding feature Salesforce should have had. Thank you a lot!!
