Build and sign WebExtension from setup.py #2

Open ghost opened 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Mozilla's web-ext allows to build and sign the WebExtension automatically. Let's have a custom setup.py command for that named build_webextension.

Running of this command should result in the .xpi filed generated under the dist directory. All intermediate files should be located within build/ directory.

Looks like it would be easier to build extension in its own extension/ subdirectory and then move the artifact into build/. Thanks to npm has node_modules hardcoded

Added a way to run Firefox with the extension buy executing npm run run so it would open /examples/echo/index.html.

Next: improve example to the point when it would be easy to run. Following step is to publish an extension with the example.
