[FIXED] Pale Moon and new NS update channel

[barbaz]

In Pale Moon when checking for addon updates I now get this -

Code: Select all

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: https://secure.informaction.com/download/classic/?v=5.1.8.5rc2
Line Number 1, Column 1: classic:1:1

addons.update-checker	WARN	Update manifest was not valid XML

From the error messages, it looks like Pale Moon expects a XML format update manifest. But NoScript's update manifest isn't XML. It's JSON.

Waterfox 56.0.4 has no problem with the JSON.


I realise Pale Moon isn't an officially supported browser, so this is mostly just FYI. No big deal to me, since I'll know through other means when NS gets updated and I do addon updates manually anyway.

[Giorgio Maone]

Geez, you're right, thanks for the heads up.
I'm gonna fix it in time for the 1st actual update.

[barbaz]

It's fixed now. Thanks Giorgio!

[barbaz]

Actually, maybe not 100% fixed? Pale Moon is not receiving the 5.1.8.5rc3 update.
(Waterfox 56.0.4.1 did get the update.)

EDIT
This is likely because of missing Pale Moon as a target application for NoScript Classic. At a guess, adding this to the NoScript Classic section might fix it -

Code: Select all

   <em:targetApplication>
     <RDF:Description>
     <em:id>{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}</em:id>
     <em:minVersion>27.0.2</em:minVersion>

missing Pale Moon as a target application for NoScript Classic

Did this change (silently)?
As I'm seeing a PM section in noscript-5.1.8.5rc3.xpi.

Code: Select all

MD5: noscript-5.1.8.5rc3.xpi   be7d130a6ca5291f2f389329cd736e20

Did this change (silently)?

No, the XPIs are good. I'm referring to the update manifest.

[Giorgio Maone]

Changed the update manifest, does it work now?

[barbaz]

Still doesnt work, sorry. The current update manifest looks to be just updating a second extension with an ID matching Pale Moon's GUID.

[therube]

I'm referring to the update manifest.

Just where do you look to see that?

Are
<RDF:Description about="urn:mozilla:extension:{73a6fe31-595d-460b-a920-fcc0f8843232}">
and
<em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>
"backwards"?


Should (n't) RDF be ...3232, which is NoScript
&
em:id be ... 7384, (which is presumably, Pale Moon - yes it is).

And in that respect, I'll suppose that the "2nd" RDF:Description shouldn't even be there?


Likewise, wouldn't there need to be an <em:id> in there for SeaMonkey too?
<em:id>{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}</em:id>


(I know nothing of this stuff.)
