With electron 1.7.8 ❌

The Grammarly icon does not show, and no error in console but errors in the background page

With electron electron/electron#11131 and #6 ❌

Errors in the background page: missing chrome.cookies.onChanged API

Grammarly-bg.js:2158 : uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'onChanged' of undefined at Object.watch (Grammarly-bg.js:5992) at watchToken (Grammarly-bg.js:14594) at exports.createCookieChannel (Grammarly-bg.js:13841) at runCallEffect (Grammarly-bg.js:2224) at runEffect (Grammarly-bg.js:2191) at next (Grammarly-bg.js:2164) at proc (Grammarly-bg.js:2369) at runForkEffect (Grammarly-bg.js:2245) at runEffect (Grammarly-bg.js:2191) at Grammarly-bg.js:2300 at Array.forEach () at runParallelEffect (Grammarly-bg.js:2299) at runEffect (Grammarly-bg.js:2191) at next (Grammarly-bg.js:2164) at proc (Grammarly-bg.js:2369) at runSaga (Grammarly-bg.js:8015)

missing api : chrome.cookies.*

[alexstrat]

with electron 1.7.8:

Missing chrome.cookies.*

Can be added quite easily since the electron APIs exists.

• chrome.cookies API Documentation
• cookies electron APIs
• Implementation at Wavebox
• when badly mocked: errors on grammarly request

Issues with locaStorage

• window.localStorage is not accessible: VM206:1 Uncaught DOMException: Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document.
• protocol.registerStandardSchemes(['electron-chome-extension']) seems to fix the issue (merged in #26)

Missing chrome.tabs.onActivated

• TypeError: Cannot read property 'addListener' of undefined

Missing chrome.window.onFocusChanged

---

1-2 work days might be enough to fix this

Electron

Chrome

Wavebox thread: https://github.com/wavebox/waveboxapp/issues/464

Initial settings are not initialized from the same way between Chrome and Station. The user onboarding is not triggered in the Electron version. Our version stops to works before loading an anonymous user without errors. Only one API is called in this timelapse: cookies. After verification, our cookie works well and are structured like Chrome.

The last hypothesis that I have is the popup behind the browser action (also present in Wavebox were Grammarly seems to work well from my usage). Indeed, the background may be that our background page awaits a message from the popup before start hydrating the user.

Currently waiting for news from Grammarly.

@hugomano Now that #42 is merged, can you give details about the current status of Grammarly extension support in Station? Thanks! 🙏

[thoraxe]

@hugomano is this closed because it's been decided this won't work?

[thoraxe]

OK, after some research I see that Grammarly as a dedicated app is available, however it doesn't seem to add the Grammarly checking to other apps (eg: GMail) like the traditional chrome extension does.

It's not clear from https://feedback.getstation.com/feature-requests/p/integrate-chrome-extensions-support-grammarly-todoist-zoom-hubspot-forgmail-simp whether or not that is planned.
