Hi,

The code inside chrome/updater folder (e.g. chrome/updater/updater.cc) seems to be disabled. I am not able to put breakpoints on Windows build.

Could you please help.

Regards,

Milan

What target are you trying to debug? The build target for `chrome/updater/updater.cc` is `updater` not `chrome`. I hope this helps.

 

Could you please help.

Hi Sorin,

We are developing a browser based on chromium for Windows and MAC. We need auto upgrade feature.

Steps done til now on Windows:-

1. Generate updater.exe using below mentioned updater target.

2. updater.exe --install -app-id{▪︎▪︎▪︎}

This copies out\Default folder contents inside ChromiumUpdater folder, download crx3 and install updater.

But the problems are:-

1. file version_updater_win.cc is not currently linked to settings/help.

2. Omaha test server is valid for 14 days.

Can you please help me with the source code changes in chromium?

Regards,

Milan

that file is part of the sources only for Google Chrome branded builds

if (is_chrome_branded) {

sources += [

"webui/help/version_updater_win.cc",

 

2. Omaha test server is valid for 14 days.

Can you please clarify what Omaha test server are you referring to? 

Can you please help me with the source code changes in chromium?

Omaha can update the browser in two ways:

1. automatic, silent updates.
   For this to work, you'd have to make changes to chrome/installer to make sure running the installer not only installs your browser, but it can update it as well.
   If you are not using chrome/installer for your browser, then it's likely that not many changes to the browser code are needed.
2. on-demand updates, driven by the browser's `chrome://help`.
   For this one, I suggest using cs.chromium.org, search for hits on `google_update` and understand how the updater and Chrome interoperate.
   

I hope this helps

Thanks Sorin.

We are looking for auto update.

1. Omaha server we are using : 

https://omaha4.omaha-consulting.com/admin/

2. In chrome://help I checked only chrome/browser/ui/webui/help/version_updater_basic.cc is used.

Milan

Hi Milan.

As Sorin mentioned, Chromium does not integrate with an updater. If you want to make your own fork of Chromium use your own fork of Omaha, then you'll need to look at things like //chrome/browser/ui/BUILD.gn for places where you see that is_chrome_branded is used to conditionally compile in version_updater_basic.cc vs version_updater_win.cc (as just one example). Note that you should not simply set is_chrome_branded=true -- you will need to define your own "brand" for the browser and various updater-related constants (see chrome/install_static). I don't have any other specific guidance -- perhaps other folks who have forked Chromium can give you some advice. You could check on chromium.slack.com or ask on the chromium-dev mailing list for help.

Hi Milan,

I don't know of other options for hosting an update server for Omaha.

Hi Michael,

 

I am working along with Milan but for mac,

 

What should be these values ? which are mac specific

 

   keystone_app_name = "ChromiumSoftwareUpdate"

   keystone_bundle_identifier = "org.chromium.Keystone"

   mac_browser_bundle_identifier = "org.chromium.Chromium"

   mac_updater_bundle_identifier = "org.chromium.ChromiumUpdater"

 

 

I always get this below error while connecting to

 

mojo::PlatformChannelEndpoint ConnectToServer server_name: message.header.msgh_local_port: org.chromium.ChromiumUpdater.update

mojo::PlatformChannelEndpoint ConnectToServer err kr: 268435459

 

 

and what should be for below url ?

 

device_management_server_url = https://m.google.com/devicemanagement/data/api

 

 

We changed update_check_url as below

 

-update_check_url = "https://update.googleapis.com/service/update2/json"

+update_check_url = "https://omaha4.omaha-consulting.com/quest-global/service/update2/json"

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards,

Basavaraj

Hi Sorin,

Thanks for your email.

1. We'll try to enable the flag (is_chrome_branded) for on-demand updates on Windows through settings/help

2. For auto update do we need to use any different flag or target to enable chrome/installer ?

Regards,

Milan
