sign will not update "Summary" and "Homepage" after the first run #3151

Closed ildella closed 1 month ago

ildella commented 1 month ago

Is this a feature request or a bug?

It might be both...

What is the current behavior?

When I first run "web-ext sign --channel=unlisted" a new addon is created, eg at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addon/frankiegpt

Here the Summary value is taken from the manifest.json description field. At each following sign for a new version, the Summary stay the same, despite the description field changes in manifest.json

What is the expected or desired behavior?

I Would expect description value to be copied and shown as the Summary at each new sign/upload.
Same behavior for the manifest.json homepage_url property.

I chatted with @eviljeff and that is kinda expected. AMO won't overwrite the summary, etc. from what can be found in the manifest.json file. It's only using the values from the manifest when no other value is provided and only when the add-on is created for the first time (i.e. for the very first version).

To update the values, you should use the metadata JSON file: https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/web-ext-command-reference/#web-ext-sign
