Done.

Could you do like:

chrome.test.assertTrue(categories.indexOf("Bookmarks") >= 0, "bookmarks is
missing");
chrome.test.assertTrue(categories.indexOf("Preferences") >= 0, "preferences is
missing");
chrome.test.assertEq(2, categories.length, "unexpected categories");

[Rune Fevang, 2013/12/19 00:13:43]

Done, except I don't want to make any assumptions on how many categories there
are here.

+      chrome.test.assertTrue(bookmarks_found, "Bookmarks is missing.");
+      chrome.test.assertTrue(preferences_found, "Preferences is missing.");
+      chrome.test.succeed();

[not at google - send to devlin, 2013/12/18 22:30:37]

... and you won't need the succeed() at the end here.

[Rune Fevang, 2013/12/19 00:13:43]

Done.
