"NativeEXT unavailable" when trying to enable developer options or UI #8

Closed ReaperLXIX closed 6 years ago

ReaperLXIX commented 6 years ago

to be exact the error reads "unsupported 16-Bit application"

NiklasGollenstede commented 6 years ago

I guess you got it working?

ReaperLXIX commented 6 years ago

yes and no, I got past the 16bit issue and it seems now it just gives me an error saying it cannot connect to the native counterpart "NativeEXT unavailable" when trying to enable UI or developer

NiklasGollenstede commented 6 years ago

Did you get these me messages after the setup?: image The "and X Firefox add-ons" must say at least 1.

ReaperLXIX commented 6 years ago

yes I did and it says 0 chrome and 1 firefox

I'm running nightly is that a factor? I would think not

I'm running nightly is that a factor?

That may actually be the reason. When I tried nightly recently, It didn't work either. I think I got a different error message, though. It was The extension reStyle is not installed in <some_dir>. [...]. If you get that, it would be somewhat interesting for me, what <some_dir> is in your case (you can remove your username if it appears in there). This is caused by a variable being set to a different value than expected. I don't have a workaround though. The only solution I can currently think of requires a lot of restructuring. I'd expect to spend at least 20 hours on that. Time I currently don't have. If you'd want to use reStyle now, you have to do it with the release or beta version. The developer version is based on beta, but may also handle the variable in question differently.

Also, if you just left this review on AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/re-style/reviews/1095703/ I'd ask you to reconsider. reStyle does work in general, and there is just no way for me to properly respond to such reviews. Nightly is not a channel which people are supposed to use productively. As a site note, scrollbar styles on websites don't work with the userChrome.css (and thus don't work with reStyle). They would require agent sheets, which can't be used anymore.

ah I figured as much, no worries appreciate the help

ReaperLXIX commented 6 years ago

I edited the review as best I could

NiklasGollenstede commented 6 years ago

Thanks. I'll reply here if the situation changes.

ReaperLXIX commented 6 years ago

sounds good thanks

reStyle v0.4.0 with NativeExt v0.3.1 uses a completely different architecture. This issue should be resolved.
