info module placeholder file included in AdBlock bundle by WebPack

Reported by: BrentM Assignee: kzar
Priority: P2 Milestone: Adblock-Plus-3.2-for-Chrome-Opera-Firefox
Module: Platform Keywords: adblock, webpack
Cc: tlucas, kzar, sebastian Blocked By:

Description (last modified by kzar)

Environment

Windows 10 version 1803
Chrome 66.0.3359.139 (Official Build) (64-bit)
AdBlock devenv build from the adblock-next-gen/tree/update-ABP-Core branch.

How to reproduce

  1. Open the background console for the extension.

Complete a local dev build, and side load the extension.

Observed behaviour

The following JavaScript exception:

 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Attempt to change preference type
     at Object.set (prefs.js:229)
     at Object.set [as currentVersion] (prefs.js:328)
     at detectFirstRun (subscriptionInit.js:57)

Expected behaviour

No exceptions.

Notes

  • The "info-loader" rule only applies for the path adblock-next-gen/buildtools/info.js, but the info module is required with the relative path by the Adblock Plus code and that ends up resolving to adblock-next-gen/adblockpluschrome/buildtools/info.js.

Hints for testers

  • Check that element hiding and the options page still work on Firefox and Chrome.
  • Check that that the "Block element" button doesn't show up on Firefox for Android.
  • Check the first run page and updates page still shows up as expected.
  • Check the uninstall page still populates the fields like application and platform.

One solution is to alter the "info-loader" rule so that it applies for both dummy file paths:

module: {
  rules: [{
    include: /buildtools\/info\.js$/,
    use: ["info-loader"]
  }]
},

Problem is that then results in two copies of the info module being bundled if we require it using both paths.

I think the best plan is probably to avoid relative paths when requiring the info module, it's a special case.

This looks fixed in AB and has caused no problems in ABP.
