Banned element in install.rdf #18

Closed braco closed 11 years ago

braco commented 12 years ago

When uploading the generated xpi to addons.mozilla.org:

Banned element in install.rdf
Error: The element "updateURL" was found in the add-on's install.rdf file. It is not allowed in add-ons under the current configuration.

when removing update_url from extension_info.json:

Error: Command failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: Expecting property name: line 14 column 3 (char 319)

how can we host Kango generated files in the proper update channels?

This is also a problem in the Chrome Web Store, which requires that line removed and format is changed to .zip.

Maybe Kango should produce chrome-web-store.zip and mozilla-extensions-site.zip for uploading to those third parties?

Please attach project that produce "ValueError: Expecting property name: line 14 column 3 (char 319)".

We will think about it, usually developers have addons with update_url_path or without it, not both.

I've found that Chrome 22 does not allow my extensions to update using the updateURL setting but rather mandates that my extension be listed in the Chrome Webstore. Since I had an install base I had to add my extension to the webstore with my Extension ID in the manifest.json file so that when I point to the new updateURL in my hosted .crx file all my users would then pick up with the Webstore hosted app.

@artemkrylysov: the problem is that the stores (chrome & mozilla) require that there are no updateURL directives, but if you remove them, kango won't compile. I guess the build process is now: run Kango, edit archive to remove updateURL, save, upload?

edit: this seems to be fixed with the new version of Kango if the generator is run from scratch.
