Chrome Userscript Development

Question

I have a private script that I'm trying to get to run as a userscript in Google Chrome, how do I do this without uploading it to a shared site like userscripts?

I've got google chrome setup with the additional startup parameter --enable-user-scripts

Update:

Navigate to chrome://extensions and drag the script onto the page. This was changed in Chrome 21; see http://crbug.com/128748 for more info.

this just shows the script as a plaintext file in the chrome tab, no install extension shows up like it does if I click install at user scripts.

if I goto diveintogreasemonkey.org/download/helloworld.user.js I can install the script, BUT if I copy its contents into a js file and open that using file:// it does not work. Same is true if I put it on my website and open the url

Strange, it works for me. I'm on dev channel--4.0.266.0. If I download a script from userscripts.org and then copy the file path into the urlbar, I get a message on the download bar asking me if I want to continue, and when I click "Continue" it installs the user script. Maybe you need to get on the dev channel? (jldupont's link has more info on that)

yeah my script was ending in .js not .user.js so it wasn't being interpreted as a user script

This no longer works, you first need to navigate to chrome://chrome/extensions and drag the script onto this page
