Google Chrome Beta path changed on MacOS #103

Closed rtoy closed 3 years ago

rtoy commented 3 years ago

When running the installer, there's no option for installing for Chrome Beta for MacOS. This used to work, but in some recent update, withExEditor no longer works. The profile directory is now ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome Beta/Default'. I copied the json file from the old Chrome dir to~/Library/Application Support/GoogleChrome Beta/NativeMessagingHosts`, and it seems to work; I'm using it to edit this message.

Is it announced or documented somewhere?

rtoy commented 3 years ago

Not that I'm aware of. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/user_data_dir.md#Mac-OS-X doesn't even mention beta.

rtoy commented 3 years ago

It's being updated now to say the path is Google/Chrome Beta. Likewise for Windows. It should be available now or very soon.

asamuzaK commented 3 years ago

You mean that ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome Beta/ is the correct path? If so there is no need to fix, right?

rtoy commented 3 years ago

IIRC, the installer had no option for mac os beta because it used to work for both Chrome and Chrome Beta. Now it doesn't and the installer needs an option for beta to install it to "Google/Chrome Beta/".

asamuzaK commented 3 years ago

It does. You pointed that out and I fixed it before. See #98 Source code webExtNativeMsg/browser-data.js

This is what I see on MacOS:

 npm run setup

> withexeditorhost@6.1.0 setup /Users/rtoy/src/github/withExEditorHost
> node ./index.js setup

[1] firefox
[2] waterfoxcurrent
[3] chrome
[4] chromecanary
[5] chromium
[6] brave
[7] edge
[8] opera
[9] vivaldi
[0] CANCEL

Sorry about forgetting about #98.

I'm perfectly happy to copy the json file over as needed.

What is /Users/rtoy/src/github/withExEditorHost? Is it a copy or a fork of this repo? Running host from source is not recommended, so remove that.

After that, follow below.

@rtoy Still in trouble?

rtoy commented 3 years ago

Sorry for the delay! I tried out the new scheme in https://github.com/asamuzaK/withExEditorHost/issues/103#issuecomment-823601959, and it works great!

I think I was using a clone because that was how to get it originally. I don't need the clone anymore, which is very nice.

Everything is working fine now.

Thanks for patience and help and especially for this awesome extension that I can't live without!
