Bug Report: Unable to run offline #88

Closed bananakid closed 1 year ago

bananakid commented 1 year ago

Describe your problem in one sentence: Patcher is not able to patch without Internet connection

Name the affected patch/problem (if available) All

Your used browser Microsoft Edge 100.0.1185.50

Longer description (optional) I need to run this offline. I downloaded and copied patterns.xml to patcher's folder. However error message appears when patcher is executed. Error says an error occurred trying to fetch new patterns. I don't need it to fetch patterns.xml, I already have the file.

I won't fix this, because this is a feature that keeps it up to date.

But there is a way to manually do it: You need to place the patterns.xml file into this location %temp%\chrome_patcher_patterns.xml and then it will work. This can be seen here: https://github.com/Ceiridge/Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher/blob/873968d8bb7b8498b2a981282e6388648b8087cd/ChromeDevExtWarningPatcher/Patches/BytePatchManager.cs#L29 If you don't have access to the temp folder, you can potentially work around this by starting the patcher with different environment variables, such as overriding the %temp% or TEMPDIR environment variable.

@Ceiridge, thanks for explanation, %temp% workaround is alright! Probably worth mentioning in readme.md.
