Chrome extension options

In the manifest.json of my extension, I added this:

  "options_ui": {
      "page": "options.html",
      "chrome_style": true
  },

My options page (options.html) has this right before the closing body tag:

<script src="options.js"></script>

Both options.html and options.js are in the same folder. options.js starts with this:

console.log('options.js');

Problem: I am loading the unpacked extension (developer mode enabled). My options page is showing fine, but the script is not loaded. I have defined event handlers in that file, and they do nothing. options.js is not executed.

I followed all the instructions here, but it just does not work.

the new "chrome_style" options actually don't show anything logged to the console trough console.log, your script is probably fine, try adding something to the dom.

var errorText = document.createElement("div");
document.body.appendChild(errorText)
window.onerror = function (msg, file, line, column) {
  errorText.innerHTML = msg + '<br>' + file + ' ' + line + ':' + column;
}

EDIT: Right click inside the Options UI, select "Inspect element", it will open the appropriate debugger.
