Subject: Auto update extension from XULRunner
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
Hi,
I'm writing application using XULRunner 1.8.1 + extensions for it.
I got Extension Manager to work within XULRunner, and I'm able to update
installed Extensions from Extension Manager via right click on Extension
and "Find Update" command, but I don't understand under which condition
XULRunner will check for updates on opening my application (If it should).
I tried to play with next pref:
pref("extensions.update.interval", 60);

I supposed that interval measured in seconds, so should it check updates
every 60 seconds?

I got prompt saying "Update Found" only twice during 3 days that I work
with my application, but extension version changed dozens times.

Please help me figure out how it work,

Thanks,

There are a couple of other relevant prefs:

- extensions.update.enabled
- extensions.update.notifyUser

Have you turned these on?

notifyUser was missed for me, but when I added it - I still have no
automatic update. Only manual. Here my prefs:

// Extension
pref("xpinstall.enabled",       true);
pref("xpinstall.dialog.confirm",
"chrome://mozapps/content/xpinstall/xpinstallConfirm.xul");
pref("xpinstall.dialog.progress.skin",
"chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.xul?type=themes");
pref("xpinstall.dialog.progress.chrome",
"chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.xul?type=extensions");
pref("xpinstall.dialog.progress.type.skin", "Extension:Manager-themes");
pref("xpinstall.dialog.progress.type.chrome",
"Extension:Manager-extensions");
pref("extensions.update.enabled", true);
pref("extensions.update.notifyUser",true);
//pref("extensions.update.interval", 86400);
pref("extensions.update.interval", 60);
pref("extensions.dss.enabled", false);
pref("extensions.dss.switchPending", false);
pref("extensions.ignoreMTimeChanges", false);
pref("extensions.logging.enabled", false);
pref("general.skins.selectedSkin", "classic/1.0");
// NB these point at AMO
pref("extensions.update.url",
"chrome://mozapps/locale/extensions/extensions.properties");
pref("extensions.getMoreExtensionsURL",
"chrome://mozapps/locale/extensions/extensions.properties");
pref("extensions.getMoreThemesURL",
"chrome://mozapps/locale/extensions/extensions.properties");

Thanks,
Alex

I've not done this (yet), so I would just be speculating otherwise.

Could you point me which step I should do (in general) in order to
get/create mechanism for auto update. I tried to figure out how it work
in Firefox, but quickly get lost.

Thanks,

Alex.
