About Gerrit FE Dev Helper

A chrome extension that can help FE developers for Gerrit UI. source: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/q/project:gerrit-fe-dev-helper'' ## v1 #### v1.1.0 - Remove support for INJECT_JS_PLUGIN and INJECT_JS_MODULE_PLUGIN. Content Security Policy for extensions does not allow injecting arbitrary JS. #### v1.0.2 - Fix injecting JS plugins, remove webcomponents-lite.js #### v1.0.1 - Fix rules to also work with non-Google hosted Gerrit - Add a `inject css` rule - P1 fix: Continue rules processing after first disabled one #### v1.0.0 - Migrate to Manifest V3 - Restrict the permissions to only run on a specific list of hosts - Migrate the background script to a service worker - Migrate request/response manipulation to `chrome.declarativeNetRequest` API - New default rules - Remove support for INJECT_HTML_PLUGIN (obsolete) - Remove support for INJECT_JS_CODE (unsupported by Manifest V3) - Convert HTML snippets to Lit elements - Add prettier config and reformat all files - Bumped lit version to 3.1.0 ## v0 #### v0.0.13/14 - Fix `content_scripts.matches` patterns #### v0.0.12 - Restrict the extension to only work for Google hosted Gerrit - Add documentation about testing and publishing the extension #### v0.0.11 - Fix CORS preflight interception - Update npm deps - Make the extension look a bit nicer #### v0.0.10 - Bumped lit version to 2.2.3 #### v0.0.9 - Move cors / cache override to rules, so user can disable it from the popup - Change header value separator from `,` to `|`, as `,` can be part of the value while `|` is unlikely - Fix `onGerritReady` to use tag name instead of id and max at 5s ;) #### v0.0.8 - **BREAKING CHNAGE**: Gerrit is moving to `gr-app.js` only, so `gr-app.html` will no longer exists, we have updated default rules to forward to `gr-app.js` as well, in case you are still using `gr-app.html`, please modify that redirect rule by changing `gr-app.js` to `gr-app.html` - Add `addRespHeader` operator, thanks to Edward <ehmaldonado@google.com> - Add `injectExp` operator, as gerrit now supports experiments, this is a quick way to force enabling certain experiments, experiments should be separated by `,` #### v0.0.7 - Fix the issue when multiple rule matches one url for onBeforeRequest - Block will always take the highest priority - Then Redirect - Ignore the rest - Add a new operator as `injectJsModule`, with plugins moving to polymer 3, certain plugins will be written in modules, and to inject moduled js plugins, use this rule - This will basically add a `type="module"` to the script tag when load the script so we can use `import` inside - With `type="module"`, `document.currentScript` will become `null` so we won't be able to infer the plugin url, to workaround this, make sure you call `Gerrit.install` with the third parameter: `Gerrit.install(() => {}, undefined, 'the_url')` so Gerrit can treat it as a legit plugin - Keep using `injectJsPlugin` if its a single bundled js file #### v0.0.6 - Add two new operators: - `addReqHeader` to add arbitrary header when you send a request - `rRespHeader` to remove arbitrary header on any response - Modify default rules to show # of js errors in the helper tip - Add a new default rule to send x-test-origin with gerrit-fe-dev-helper on all requests when enabled #### v0.0.5 - set crossorigin to anonymous to help debug js error from plugin - improve the ui on popup - remove outdated rule of replacing gr-app-p2 with gr-app #### v0.0.4 - A better way to wait for Gerrit when injecting html plugins #### v0.0.3 - Hotfix #### v0.0.2 - Remove restriction on gerrit sites (some features won't work if its not a valid gerrit site) - Update README #### v0.0.1 - Enable the extension with a single click - Allow export / import rules - Show a error for 5s if rule destination is invalid (can not reach) - Show an announcement for the change for 3 seconds for first time users - Persist enable / disable state per tab - Support temporary disable rule without deleting it - Move injection to document_end - Support reset to reset rules to initial state - Support proxy live requests to local on googlesource sites - Support 6 types of rules: redirect, block, injectJS code/url, inject html code / url - Support add / remove / modify rules
