A question about master_preferences file

[Leonid Sadofiev]

Hello,

I have a question about master_preferences file.

I'm trying to use master_preferences file to manage initial settings in my customized chromium build. 

File was created according to documentation here: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/187948?hl=en and successfully bypassed JSON verification.

Reference to master_preferences file was placed into the list of files to be used by mini_installer (src\chrome\installer\mini_installer) and it was pointed to $ChromeDir, same as chrome.exe

As I see, my master_preferences file was included into chrome.7z archive for mini_installer.

Nevertheless no effect  of settings within this file have been detected and at first run after installation browser demonstrates same behaviour as it was without master_preferences file.

Would anybody be so kind to explain me what is wrong?

Best regards,

Leonid

master_preferences is designed for deployment-time configuration as opposed to build-time configuration. If you are building your own browser, edit the sources to achieve the results you desire. Otherwise, pass a json file to the installer with --installerdata=FILE.
