I just want to share with you all my latest scripting endeavor. I hope you don't mind.

All feedback is welcome.

Feel free to close this issue whenever you want, since it's not really an issue.

Thanks.

[earthlng]

very niiiice

I tested it and compared the output from my script with yours ...

1.txt - certain part of the ghacks user.js (253 prefs) 2.txt - TBB v8a9 default prefs (3336 prefs)

yours only detects 3333 in 2.txt

mine detected 76 matching prefs (yours: 72), 156 with different values (yours: 450! you need to divide by 3, thus 150 actual prefs) and 21 not declared in 2.txt (same as yours)

your script also detects 10 prefs exist in both files but are inactive in 2.txt but there are no inactive prefs in 2.txt. Probably due to prefs like this (note the /* in https://*):

user_pref("extensions.webextensions.base-content-security-policy", "script-src 'self' https://* moz-extension: blob: filesystem: 'unsafe-eval' 'unsafe-inline'; object-src 'self' https://* moz-extension: blob: filesystem:;");

IDK if that's the only thing it stumbles on though

[earthlng]

FYI when I pasted the content of 2.txt I hadn't opened the file as UTF-8 and thus some chars are fubar-ed (fe in font.system.whitelist). It doesn't really matter for the purpose of this comparison but if you want the original UTF-8 file I can upload it somewhere. Or maybe it's recoverable from the pasty, IDK.

[claustromaniac]

maybe we can add it here.

Sure, if you want.

you need a space between elegant and [Citation needed.]

You're right :+1:

@earthlng Thanks for testing it! I noticed the wrong number of different prefs yesterday but I was busy so I didn't touch it. The thing about prefs with https://*is a great catch. I will fix those things soon.

I still see some room for improvements, other than that. I could make the algorithm smarter in more than a few ways, really, but there might be a significant trade-off in performance, so I'll probably just retouch the regexes a bit, for starters. I also noticed that sometimes it takes it a pretty long while to parse some files. I don't have much experience with PowerShell, but with some more analysis I may eventually come up with some way to make it faster.

EDIT: OK, I noticed a handful of things I can try. Will probably be a bit busy today, but I have some significant improvements in mind for later.

[claustromaniac]

v1.1 overview: I noticed some other minor issues, and I fixed them all. The thing is also a bit smarter, it can even parse *pref() calls that include line breaks in the syntax (as long as the breaks are not in the prefname or value parameters). There are still many things it can't understand, but it should be more than sufficiently good for typical use, I guess.

I also streamlined the code overall. Some lines weren't necessary at all. The output looks slightly different, too.

I considered making more changes, maybe add more parameters for additional options and whatnot.

[claustromaniac]

Hmph. I came across one weird bug already. STR: Compare ghacks-user.js to master-branch pyllyukko's. If you don't get toolkit.telemetry.unified as having a possible syntax error, then it's something on my end, which I doubt.

Weird shit seems to chase me everywhere I go. There's no obvious reason for that to happen. I'll look into it later.

[earthlng]

I tested it with the version of the script I had of your initial v1.1 release and it didn't have that problem. Then I downloaded your latest master and it does show that pref as possibly broken. Diffing the 2 scripts shows that you changed 4 lines in your latest version:

in Get-UserJSPrefs(): old lines:

$val = ($line -creplace "^.*pref\s*\(\s*['""][^'""]+['""]\s*,\s*(?:(?:['""](.*?)['""])|(true|false|-?[0-9]+))\s*\).*", '$1$2')

if ($broken) {$val = ($line -creplace "^.*pref\s*\(\s*['""][^'""]+['""]\s*,(.*?)\).*", '$1')}

new:

$val = ($line -creplace "^.*pref\(['""][^'""]+['""],(?:(?:['""](.*?)['""])|(true|false|-?[0-9]+))\);.*", '$1$2')

if ($broken) {$val = ($line -creplace "^.*pref\(['""][^'""]+['""],(.*?)\);.*", '$1')}

in Main Execution: old lines:

# Remove unnecessary space and new-line characters within the target JS expressions.
$fileA = ($fileA -creplace "(?s)pref\s*\(\s*(\S.+?)\s*,\s*(.+?)\s*\)\s*;", 'pref($1,$2);')
$fileB = ($fileB -creplace "(?s)pref\s*\(\s*(\S.+?)\s*,\s*(.+?)\s*\)\s*;", 'pref($1,$2);')

new:

# Remove unnecessary space and new-line characters within the target JS expressions.
$fileA = ($fileA -creplace "(?s)pref\s*\(\s*(.+?)\s*,\s*(.+?)\s*\)\s*;", 'pref($1,$2);')
$fileB = ($fileB -creplace "(?s)pref\s*\(\s*(.+?)\s*,\s*(.+?)\s*\)\s*;", 'pref($1,$2);')

From looking at the output (it should be ==>+1 space+1 tab+pref value) it detects the pref value as 1 space+false. A bit more debugging shows that it removes the spaces in the description of 0330 instead of the pref line: original:

/* 0330: disable telemetry
 * the pref (.unified) affects the behaviour of the pref (.enabled)
 * ...
 * or release builds (true and false respectively), see [2]
 * ... ***/
user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.unified", false);
user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.enabled", false);

after Remove unnecessary space and new-line characters within the target JS expressions:

/* 0330: disable telemetry
 * the pref(.unified) affects the behaviour of the pref (.enabled)
 * ...
 * or release builds (true and false respectively),see [2]
 * ... ***/
user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.unified", false);
user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.enabled",false);

ps: change $sep to use $nl instead of \n

[earthlng]

An option to hide the matching prefs would be nice fe if I'd use this to compare FF's default values for our Diffs. I'd still like to know the number of matching prefs but don't need the 3000+ prefs in the output. maybe something like this (not sure if this is the correct syntax!):

if ($matching_prefs) {... + " prefs match:" + $nl+$nl + $(If ($hideMatching) {""} Else {$matching_prefs}) + $nl}

And maybe show which of the matching and different prefs are inactive, fe like this:

    extensions.pocket.enabled   ==>     false
    (inactive) general.appname.override     ==>     Netscape

...

    (inactive) xpinstall.signatures.required
        ghacks.js:  false
        pk.js:  true

Showing the number of combined unique prefs in the report would also be nice to have IMO. Maybe together with a breakdown of each category and making it a bit clearer what each category means value and state-wise, for example:

Compared files: ghacks.js, pk.js
590  prefs in ghacks.js (ghacks.js)
305  prefs in pk.js (pk.js)

xxxx  combined unique prefs
 139  matching prefs, both value and state (active/inactive)
  14  prefs with different values but matching state
  78  prefs not declared in ghacks.js
 363  prefs not declared in pk.js
  67  prefs with matching values but inactive in ghacks.js
   7  prefs with matching values but inactive in pk.js

As for the not declared they could also show the (inactive) in front of the prefname as well as the prefvalue behind them.

If you prefer the output as is then maybe add an option the enable the more detailed output.

[earthlng]

An option to hide the matching prefs

similarly when I compare a user.js against the 3000+ default values of FF, I don't care about the ~2800 prefs not declared in the user.js. A bitflag to hide the output of matching and/or the 2 not declared would be a neat solution and would only require 1 additional int parameter. Like, 7 would be the default and show everything (if bitflag < 0 or bitflag > 7 then bitflag = 7); subtract 4 to hide the matching prefs and/or sub 1 and/or 2 to hide the not declared in either fileA and/or fileB.

[earthlng]

Do you have any good links to documents and/or references that you used to learn PS? On the only official MS documentation I found there's wasn't even anything about available variable types and shit.

Oh and FUCK Microsoft for apparently being unable to create ANY fucking page that works without JS ffs! The complete Go Programming Language Specification is a single static page that works perfectly fine without JS - why the fuck can't MS do anything right?! (sorry for the rant :)

[claustromaniac]

Thanks for all the feedback mate! You're a time saver.

I'll be looking into the issue with toolkit.telemetry.unified in a while. I had too some of the ideas you brought up, especially the ones about hiding part of the output. I'll try to implement all those changes, it shouldn't be much work.

FUCK Microsoft for apparently being unable to create ANY fucking page that works without JS ffs!

IKR. I mostly use SS64.com for that very reason. Look here and here, mostly.

[earthlng]

Thanks for the links, that looks to be exactly what I need :+1:

[claustromaniac]

Without having tested anything yet, I can see the issue clearly now. Did I mention you're a time saver?

It's the regex for removing spaces. For some reason I don't remember (probably sleep-deprived logic), I removed the quotes from the part that is meant to match the prefname.

The regex reads:

(?s)pref\s*\(\s*(.+?)\s*,\s*(.+?)\s*\)\s*;

When it should be a bit more strict, at the very least something like:

(?s)pref\s*\(\s*['""](.+?)['""]\s*,\s*(.+?)\s*\)\s*;

Without specifying the quotes, that regex interpets this as the prefname:

.unified) affects the behaviour of the pref (.enabled)
 * ...
 * or release builds (true and false respectively)

... and this as the value:

 see [2]
 * ... ***/
user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.unified", false

:man_facepalming:

[claustromaniac]

I think I'll use this regex for removing spaces instead:

(?s)pref\s*\(\s*['""](\S*?)['""]\s*,\s*(.+?)\s*\)\s*;

It matches as many non-space non-newline characters as it can as the prefname. It should even be faster too.

[earthlng]

that regex interpets this as the prefname

Yeah from looking only at the code that's what I initially thought too but it's not what's happening. It wouldn't be able to report toolkit.telemetry.unified as a broken pref if it matched that long ass string as its prefname.

I think I'll use this regex for removing spaces instead:

while that would fix this specific case it would still be possible to break it. I think regardless of what you do in the Remove unnecessary space and new-line characters within the target JS expressions part, you should still put the whitespace checks back in the regexes within Get-UserJSPrefs()

[claustromaniac]

It wouldn't be able to report toolkit.telemetry.unified as a broken pref if it matched that long ass string as its prefname.

No, because that regex only removes spaces and line breaks, it doesn't extract prefname and value. That part is done in the Get-UserJSPref function.

while that would fix this specific case it would still be possible to break it.

No, because ... what I just said :grin: That part is taken care of ahead in the flow.

[claustromaniac]

What do you think about having the script default to hiding the matching prefs and an option for showing the full report (instead of an option for hiding the matches)? I think I'd like that better myself.

[claustromaniac]

No, because ... what I just said

Thinking it through... Something like this should break it:

/* the syntax usually begins with user_pref("prefname", but you already know that.
All of this is also part of the value. I'm such a troll.
*/
user_pref("blabla", true);

It would be uncommon, but I guess it is possible after all. Alright, I'll add spaces to that specific part of the regex in the Get-UserJSPrefs function.

[earthlng]

IMO showing the matching prefs by default is probably more in line with what people want (in most cases)

Thinking it through... Something like this should break it

told you :smiley_cat:

[claustromaniac]

Look who's talking. :laughing: I'd say we're all nerds around here. GitHub is pretty much full of nerds.

I'll take it as a compiment, though.

[claustromaniac]

@earthlng, regarding the option for hiding part of the output, what do you think about something like this?

-hideMask <int>

0 - hide nothing (default)
1 - hide matches
2 - hide differences
4 - hide declared in A but not in B
8 - hide declared in B but not in A
16 - hide inactive in A but active in B
32 - hide inactive in B but active in A

I can use bitwise operators to keep the code looking clean.

[claustromaniac]

Updated to v1.2 v1.2.1 v1.2.2.

[earthlng]

I don't know why anyone would ever want to hide fe pref differences but I guess it's better to have the option and not need it than to not have the option at all.

[claustromaniac]

Yup. If someone does want it, they have it. It didn't cost even a single extra line of code, just ~25 bytes per filter, so there was no real good reason not to include those options too.

I still want to test this more, but it is already looking quite complete for me. I hope I'm not missing/overlooking anything.

[claustromaniac]

I don't see why that would be necessary. The output wouldn't be completely honest if it ignored arbitrary prefs, either.

prefs with matching values but inactive in ghacks.js

I noticed I should remove that part. I got lazy and copy-pasted what earthlng suggested above, forgetting that I don't check for equality when only one of them is inactive (to avoid unnecessary overhead).

When the report says a pref is inactive in one file, the value doesn't necessarily match the value of the same pref in the other file. I'll remove that misleading bit.

[claustromaniac]

Yeah, I'm not fully convinced about the format either.

BTW I just noticed another weird thing going on. The list of differences seems to always mark prefs as inactive, even when they're not. I'll have to test a few things. EDIT: It was a ninja underscore that sneaked into a var name.

[claustromaniac]

for both these sections you don't output the value, which would be helpful

Look well. Those are by the bottom of the report.

[claustromaniac]

I don't follow?

Have a second look at the report, starting from the bottom. The prefs you mentioned are in there.

[claustromaniac]

Sorry. That's what happens when I attempt to do more than one thing at a time.

[claustromaniac]

You'll never know for sure :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

[earthlng]

does it ignore the parrots :bird:

I don't see why that would be necessary. The output wouldn't be completely honest if it ignored arbitrary prefs, either.

I agree

When the report says a pref is inactive in one file, the value doesn't necessarily match the value of the same pref in the other file.

sorry my bad. Well, nice effort mate but I guess I'll keep using my script then :trollface:

ps: 1 of the examples is wrong now due to the removal of the aliases

[claustromaniac]

Updated to v1.3 v1.3.1

Click to see what the output looks like now. :point_left:

:jeans: said...

71 prefs with matching values but inactive in ghacks.js
7 prefs with matching values but inactive in pk.js

for both these sections you don't output the value, which would be helpful

...then earthlng said...

When the report says a pref is inactive in one file, the value doesn't necessarily match the value of the same pref in the other file.

sorry my bad. Well, nice effort mate but I guess I'll keep using my script then :trollface:

My solution:

  ...
   57 prefs with matching values but inactive in ghacks.js
    4 prefs with matching values but inactive in pk.js
  ...

 ...
 The following 78 prefs exist in both files but are inactive (commented out) in only one of them:

    app.update.auto                                                          
        ghacks.js        false
[i]     pk.js            true
    app.update.enabled                                                       
[i]     ghacks.js        false
        pk.js            true
    browser.bookmarks.max_backups                                            
[i]     ghacks.js        2
        pk.js            0
    browser.cache.offline.enable                                             
[i]     ghacks.js        false
        pk.js            false
 ...

[earthlng]

The numbers in the header don't add up to the combined unique prefs anymore in the output you posted

[claustromaniac]

They're not meant to add up.

They added up when I didn't care about equality in the prefs with different state, but now that the script cares (because you seemed to be asking for it) they don't add up. It's precise. If you want the combined unique prefs to not count some prefs, then it shouldn't be called "combined unique prefs".

[claustromaniac]

row totals/ column totals

There are no such totals in the output generated by this script.

[claustromaniac]

You know what? I'll add an EXTRA row in the summary just so your numbers add up. Deal? Dammit. :laughing:

[claustromaniac]

If they should add up, then I need an extra row:

prefs that don't match and have different states

And that's exactly what I'll do.

[claustromaniac]

The following 78 prefs exist in both files but are inactive (commented out) in only one of them:

That's three things:

• prefs that match, but are inactive only in X
• prefs that match, but are inactive only in Y
• prefs that don't match and are inactive in only X or Y

As things are now, the rest of the summary doesn't match the number of combined unique prefs simpy because I didn't add an extra row with the items that don't match and have different states.

The alternative would be separating those 3 things into different lists, just so they match your dear headers.

[claustromaniac]

My point is that the numbers above will never match unless I add that extra row, or unless I change the "combined unique prefs" header, because if it didn't count the prefs that don't match and don't have the same state, it would be one lying header.

[claustromaniac]

So, I'll assume no one likes this format then:

    app.update.auto                                                          
        ghacks.js        false
[i]     pk.js            true
    app.update.enabled                                                       
[i]     ghacks.js        false
        pk.js            true
    browser.bookmarks.max_backups                                            
[i]     ghacks.js        2
        pk.js            0
    browser.cache.offline.enable                                             
[i]     ghacks.js        false
        pk.js            false

I shouldn't have assumed you guys would understand what I wanted you to see, even after trying to show it to you separated from the rest of the output. My bad. I should've explained things a bit.

If you guys prefer three different lists for the three things that I mentioned before, then I'll ditch that. No problem. I just thought it was a nice way to present all the information.

[claustromaniac]

The first two should be combined for sure.

From what I've seen so far, I doubt earthlng would agree with that.

See what earthlng says.

Not sure what you mean, sorry.

The format, is that your example in the post right above this one?

It's the same I posted above. I'm going to split that list into the three relevant parts, but I'm still gonna use that format for listing the prefs that have both mismatching values and states, unless you have a better idea.

[claustromaniac]

Updated to v1.4

Possibly the final version.

Wanna know what the output looks like? run it.

[earthlng]

Possibly the final version.

Wanna know what the output looks like? run it.

lol, found the salty guy :) sorry mate, don't take anything I write too seriously, I was just messing with you a little bit. It's a great script and it helped me get started with PS which I've avoided to learn for too long, so thanks for that.

It's better if @claustromaniac hosts it himself because he can make all the changes he wants without me needing to review them. We can just link to it.

Thanks again for all the feedback... _{you nitpicking bastards.}

I had other ideas that I didn't implement, but I may eventually do it. Anyway, glad to make another small contribution.

Nah. My skin is thick enough, thanks.

I was just kidding. I generally try not to, because it is very easy to give false impressions via text, at least for me. Also, in the event of a misunderstanding, it is generally harder to find the motivation to clarify things, because I simply don't care. But if I don't, I risk coming across as a prick, and I certainly wouldn't want random strangers to think bad of me. ^{See what I did there?}

It is also even harder to tell what others are thinking than it is in person, which leads me to explain unnecessary stuff, like I'm doing right now. Plus, this isn't even my native tongue.

Plus, I'm an oddball.

_{I'll just stop typing right now.}

There. Nitpick at your leisure.

Says it's possibly the final version.

Pushes 42 commits in a matter of two weeks.

Yep, that's me alright. The good news is all of your feedback helped me find a bunch of minor (and not-so) issues with the script and I learned a lot of PowerShell gotchas and specifics in that short span, so thanks again. You guys are really helpful.

This should be as reliable and fast as it gets... I hope. I may eventually improve the documentation though. I may even consider making it more SERIOUS and everything, who knows. For now I'll just keep breaking other stuff.

[claustromaniac]

As always, it is my honor to pollute your wiki with my garbage!

I'll have to seriously reconsider improving the documentation now, though. Yeah... I should probably do that, shouldn't I?

sorry about sticking a drawing pin right in yer face

Don't worry about it, I'm used to that shit......(don't ask.)

[claustromaniac]

Honestly, I don't feel it deserves to stand next to all of the awesome extensions. :cold_sweat: That being said, I don't know where else I'd put it if I were you.

I'm starting to feel the pressure. Now I'll have to roll the WEB APP to feel more comfortable about it.
