Windows invalid extension Id case #7

Closed havid0707 closed 3 years ago

havid0707 commented 3 years ago

Hi @sttz ,

The structure of manifest as below: struct NativeMessagingManifest { public string name; public string description; public string path; public string type; public string[] allowed_extensions; }

But my windows10 com.expressvpn.helper.json as Below: { "name": "com.expressvpn.helper", "description": "ExpressVPN Chrome Helper", "path": "C:\Program Files (x86)\ExpressVPN\expressvpnd\expressvpn-browser-helper.exe", "type": "stdio", "allowed_origins": [ "chrome-extension://fgddmllnllkalaagkghckoinaemmogpe/", "chrome-extension://olhkmmhcabcohlcodnbkfoekafimgkmb/", "chrome-extension://gicmddjpmepnbabhkhihlgdfccbppflm/" ] }

If I change allowed_origins to allowed_extensions, the program still promt "invalid chrome extendsion id!" I have check the extendsion installed in chrome, it is the first one in the list. May I know this program tested under windows? or this program only compatible with specific version ExpressVPN?

In Widnows, the origins is the first parameter. I solved this by Google

Yeah, I've only tested on macOS. If you get it running on Windows, a PR would be welcome!

Could you share your solution if possible? I'm looking for a CLI client as well on Windows as I need to reconnect programmatically with ExpressVPN

I've somewhat solved this. You need to change all references to "com.expressvpn.helper" to "com.expressvpn.helper.firefox". On Windows they are two separate files. You also need to add "C:/Program Files (x86)/ExpressVPN/expressvpnd" to the variable manifestBasePaths.
