BUG - "Immediately block pages..." option does not block set using using Regular Expression after Override expires #332

Closed smayer97 closed 11 months ago

smayer97 commented 1 year ago

Options used:

Immediately block pages on these sites once blocking conditions are met
Regular Expression: ^chrome:\/\/history Block time is 0000-2400. 7 days

When use Override and time expires, page does not automatically block. Please fix.

proginosko commented 1 year ago

Regular expression should be ^chrome:\/\/history because forward-slashes are special characters.

smayer97 commented 1 year ago

Sorry,but I did type that in my question above but for some reason it did not show; strange. So, yes, I am using ^chrome:\/\/history (\/\/).

So this is still an issue.

smayer97 commented 1 year ago

Hmmm.... every time I try to type \ followed by /, this editor filters it out and only shows the /.

smayer97 commented 1 year ago

(Figured it out, I have to type TWO \ for the editor to not filter out the \ ))

Ok, so issue still remains ;-)

proginosko commented 1 year ago

I figured out why this is happening. Should be a relatively easy fix for the next release.

Just FYI: this repo is for the Firefox version. Chrome repo is here: https://github.com/proginosko/LeechBlockNG-chrome

This is fixed for the next release.
