# Chrome Extensions
Puppeteer can be used for testing Chrome Extensions.
:::caution
Extensions are not available in chrome-headless-shell (headless: 'shell'),
also known as the old headless mode.
:::
:::note
See https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/how-to/test/end-to-end-testing for more details.
:::
The following is code for getting a handle to the
[background page](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages) of
an extension whose source is located in `./my-extension`:
```ts
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
import path from 'path';
const pathToExtension = path.join(process.cwd(), 'my-extension');
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
args: [
`--disable-extensions-except=${pathToExtension}`,
`--load-extension=${pathToExtension}`,
],
});
const backgroundPageTarget = await browser.waitForTarget(
target => target.type() === 'background_page'
);
const backgroundPage = await backgroundPageTarget.page();
// Test the background page as you would any other page.
await browser.close();
```
:::note
Chrome Manifest V3 extensions have a background ServiceWorker of type
'service_worker', instead of a page of type 'background_page'.
:::
```ts
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
import path from 'path';
const pathToExtension = path.join(process.cwd(), 'my-extension');
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
args: [
`--disable-extensions-except=${pathToExtension}`,
`--load-extension=${pathToExtension}`,
],
});
const workerTarget = await browser.waitForTarget(
// Assumes that there is only one service worker created by the extension and its URL ends with background.js.
target =>
target.type() === 'service_worker' && target.url().endsWith('background.js')
);
const worker = await workerTarget.worker();
// Open a popup (available for Canary channels).
await worker.evaluate('chrome.action.openPopup();');
const popupTarget = await browser.waitForTarget(
// Assumes that there is only one page with the URL ending with popup.html and that is the popup created by the extension.
target => target.type() === 'page' && target.url().endsWith('popup.html')
);
const popupPage = popupTarget.asPage();
// Test the popup page as you would any other page.
await browser.close();
```
:::note
It is not yet possible to test extension content scripts.
