==Extension Update Across Major Updates== | |||
To test Extension Update across major application updates with a nightly build, you need: | |||
* some extensions (installed) | |||
* preferably some test extensions that you can hand edit | |||
Open the file '''<tt>compatibility.ini</tt>''' in your profile and change the line that reads something like: | |||
<pre>LastVersion=1.0+_2005071915/1.8b4_2005071915</pre> | |||
to have a number different than the one shown, e.g.: | |||
<tt>LastVersion=1.0+_2005071915/1.8b4_20050719'''00'''</tt> | |||
Now, open prefs.js in your profile and: | |||
add: | |||
<pre>user_pref("app.extensions.version", "5.0");</pre> | |||
(or some other number much larger than the current version) | |||
and make sure there is no line like this: | |||
<tt>user_pref("'''extensions.lastVersion'''", "5.0");</tt> or similar. | |||
Now start Firefox. A wizard UI should appear and allow you to check for updates to your incompatible extensions. | |||
===Functionality=== | |||
When the Firefox starts, it detects the update condition that you created by editing the files as described above. It collects a list of addons that are incompatible with the new running instance, and then: | |||
* checks for VersionInfo updates to each of the items in the list... a VersionInfo update is a remove compatibility update provided by the author of the addon through AMO or their custom update.rdf file that says that the existing installed version of the addon is in fact compatible with the new version of Firefox, and requires no new XPI download/install | |||
* after the VersionInfo check reduces the incompatibility list somewhat, displays a list of addons that are still incompatible and will need to be updated to still be functional. | |||
* checks for newer versions of the said addons. | |||
* when it discovers the updates that are available, shows them to the user and gives them the ability to download and install them now. | |||
* downloads and installs the selected updates | |||
* shows information to the user about any errors encountered in this process, also, shows information about items that are still incompatible (no updates found), and gives the user the ability to opt into auto update checking if the user has previously disabled extension auto update checking. | |||
