11:21:30 : moz_mma : In Thunderbird 64.0a1, using ChromeUtils.import() in webextension results in "ReferenceError: ChromeUtils is not defined" error. Any pointers?
|
||
|
|
12:00:15 : &Fallen : moz_mma: unless you are in an WebExtensions Experiment context, ChromeUtils and all the chrome code is not available
|
||
|
|
you need to make due with the APIs available, and create wrappers for APIs that are missing
|
||
|
|
12:04:25 : moz_mma : Fallen, how do I get in WebExtensions Experiment context?
|
||
|
|
12:04:45 : &Fallen : moz_mma: https://github.com/thundernest/tb-web-ext-experiments/ explains it mostly
|
||
|
|
for the cloudfile experiment, you would have access in e.g. https://github.com/thundernest/tb-web-ext-experiments/blob/master/cloudfile/cloudfile-api/api.js but not https://github.com/thundernest/tb-web-ext-experiments/blob/master/cloudfile/background/background.js
|
||
|
|
please be sure to read the intro to that repo so you know what the APIs should look like
|
||
|
|
12:07:30 : moz_mma : Thanks Fallen
|

|
12:14:03 : +aceman : Fallen: the ChromeUtils question above
