Launch and DTM Switch

Enables the developer to locally override the embedded Launch or DTM library for testing.

The Launch and DTM Switch Chrome extension by Search Discovery empowers developers to locally override embedded Adobe Launch or Dynamic Tag Management (DTM) libraries for streamlined testing. It features an intuitive control panel accessible via an icon in the address bar whenever Launch or DTM is detected on a website. Users can select different environments within a property and toggle debug mode to view application messaging in the console or staging mode to switch to staging libraries instead of production.

Version updates have ensured compatibility with Adobe's evolving APIs and enhanced functionality, such as supporting up to 99 environments per Launch property and improvements to environment recording. Anonymous usage tracking is incorporated to better understand extension usage and enhance the product, with an easy opt-out option. This extension is ideal for developers and analysts working with Adobe's tag management solutions, providing a convenient, efficient debugging and environment management tool in one package.

User reviews

Users find the Launch and DTM Switch extension extremely helpful and essential for managing Adobe Launch and DTM environments, praising its time-saving and intuitive features. However, recurring issues like connection errors, environment detection problems especially with numerous libraries, missing debugging features, and some clunky environment switching mechanics have been noted. The developer's prompt updates and responsiveness are appreciated, but there is a desire for feature consolidation and improved stability. Overall, it is a highly recommended tool despite some functional shortcomings.
Pros
  • Highly useful for working with Adobe Launch and DTM, making environment switching much easier and faster.
  • Saves significant time when switching between Launch Libraries and environments.
  • User-friendly and intuitive interface, simplifying DTM and Adobe Launch workflows.
  • Responsive developer support that addresses issues and releases timely updates.
  • Essential tool for daily use by professionals working with Launch and DTM implementations.
Cons
  • Occasional errors such as 'Unchecked runtime.lastError' affecting functionality.
  • Limited support or detection for environments when many are active (above 25 libraries/environments).
  • Missing some desired features like loading unminified libraries for easier debugging.
  • Some functionality issues such as environment switcher not working or requiring manual 'recording' of environments.
  • Reliance on multiple extensions for different Adobe products instead of a consolidated solution.

Getting "Unchecked runtime.lastError: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist." error. This was working perfectly about a few weeks ago. Any chance the dev can look into this error?
