Currently isn't functional on Violentmonkey; gear (settings) button and diamond button (meta notifications) in the topbar are missing

[AmperAndSand]

Describe the bug For the past few days, SOX (dev version) doesn't seem to be functional. Adding the title of the question in the 'Share' link doesn't work. The gear (settings) button and diamond button (meta notifications) in the topbar are missing.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Go to any SE site.
2. Notice that the gear (settings) button is now missing and that none of SOX' functionality works.

SOX errors logged in console Note: Both console logs below are from an incognito/private window where only the Violentmonkey extension is enabled and only SOX is the script that is enabled.

Expected behaviour That SOX work. At the least, the gear (settings) button should appear in the topbar.

Environment SOX version: 2.8.3 DEV Platform: Brave & Violentmonkey, and Firefox & Violentmonkey Note: The auto-populate version functionality didn't seem to work.

Hi, thanks for the bug report!

I can't reproduce this in Chrome/FF with Tampermonkey, but could you try removing line 42 (// @resource common sox.common.info.json) from the main userscript file within Violetmonkey, save, and refresh an SE page?

Does that fix the problem and/or show different messages in the Console?

[AmperAndSand]

@shu8 I tried removing the line in Violentmonkey in both Brave and Firefox, but the issue persists in both browsers.

Thanks for checking! I installed Violetmonkey and can reproduce this now.

It's weird that it's only started happening in the last few days -- it's possible that a recent Violetmonkey update broke this somehow.

Would you be able to check if SOX works with Tampermonkey? If so, we may need to dig deeper into what's changed in Violetmonkey recently.

[AmperAndSand]

@shu8 I just tested and it works fine with Tampermonkey. The issue seems to indeed be related to a recent Violentmonkey update.

[shu8]

Thanks for confirming that! Could you check if the latest Violetmonkey Beta fixes this for you? https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey/releases.

I saw that there was a recent change to the get resource logic: https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey/commit/83bd2497f5ce37286e4383a20954ab083686e2c4#diff-48d1dbb32ce280539c8dec96362dd75f28799c6d3e632ddcfc34294110aed291 which might fix it

[AmperAndSand]

@shu8 It still doesn't work with the current latest Violentmonkey beta, v2.13.1.2.

[shu8]

I've posted a bug report on Violentmonkey: https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey/issues/1589.

I'm going to close this issue though as it doesn't seem specific to SOX -- thanks for raising it though!

[shu8]

(looks like it's been fixed, the next beta version should work!)
