What does not work at the time of commit:
Cosmetic filtering does not work:
The content scripts responsible for cosmetic filtering fail when
trying to inject the stylesheets through document.adoptedStyleSheets,
with the following error message:
XrayWrapper denied access to property Symbol.iterator
(reason: object is not safely Xrayable).
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Xray_vision for more
information. ... css-declarative.js:106:8
A possible solution is to inject those content scripts in the
MAIN world. However Firefox scripting API does not support MAIN
world injection at the moment.
Scriptlet-filtering does not work:
Because scriptlet code needs to be injected in the MAIN world,
and this is currently not supported by Firefox's scripting API,
see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1736575
There is no count badge on the toolbar icon in Firefox, as it
currently does not support the `DNR.setExtensionActionOptions`
method.
Other than the above issues, it does appear uBO is blocking
properly with no error reported in the dev console.
The adoptedStyleSheets issue though is worrisome, as the
cosmetic filtering content scripts were designed with ISOLATED
world injection in mind. Being forced to inject in MAIN world
(when available) make things a bit more complicated as uBO
has to ensure it's global variables do not leak into the page.
This allows to reduce the horizontal size of the gutter; more efficient
management of folding since we already need to parse each line for the
linter; and eventually this will also allows to detect unbalanced
!#if-!#endif directives and report such cases as errors.
Additionally, keep incrementally improving error reporting details
in the linter.
maintainers.
To enable logging, use the JSON approach to pass parameters to
`acs` scriptlet. Example:
..##+js(acs, { "target": "document.oncontextmenu", "log": true })
Whereas "target", "needle", and "context" correspond to their
respective positional argument. Using JSON form to pass parameters
allows to specify extra paramters to facilitate debugging of that
scriptlet:
- `"log": true` => output useful information at the dev console.
- `"debug": true` => break at key locations in the scriptlet.
The added logging/debugging capabilities work only in the dev build
of uBO or if the advanced setting `filterAuthorMode` is set to
`true`.
