      Whenever I try to modify extension source code, I get following message after restart:

      Your extension was disabled because it is corrupted. Go to the extensions manager and repair it.
      

      And not able to run modified extension.
      Is there any way to prevent this?

          @leocg there should be way to generate some new hash files (instead of supposedly throwing this error) so modified extension will be accepted as valid extension

          I guess it's this file

          /<extension>/<version>/_metadata/computed_hashes.json

            @dunhsqrtz As far as I know, Opera blocks it for security reasons
