Export links of all extensions crashes the browser

Hadden89

Crash (actually more forced close) with 5.4.2753.27 too.

@Pathduck But the extension worked also after that vivaldi became an app. Sadly, I can't help too much as I only recall to have used it on a Vivaldi 4.x build so unsure when it broke.

I got a feedback from the developers, they reproduced the crash and they'll try to fix it. Apparently they're a small team and there's no ETA when/if it will be fixed.

Hi there

I also had the same extension which started to crash Vivaldi so I deleted it.

I now use ..
Share Extensions

Even that has problems (the Export buttons don't work) which can be overcome by ...

Open Share Extensions
In the top left select the extensions you want to save.
Then right click on the page and ... Save As ... Webpage Complete (*.htm, *.html).
This will give you the URL links to all the extensions you want to reinstall. Your backing up of the User Data folder in Vivaldi would have saved all the extension settings so you can be up and away again very quickly.

@dynamix Looks like it is a bug with Vivaldi, but it is easy enough to work around in this case.

I submitted a pull request on the extension's GitHub page, so hopefully the developer only needs to merge the changes and publish them to the store (takes a few days for published changes to be accepted and go live).

https://github.com/gabrielbarros/export-all-extensions/pull/7

As for the bug, it looks like calling window.close() in an extension action popup causes Vivaldi to close everything. Not sure if it is a crash or just all the windows closing.

If you search how to close an extension action popup on StackOverflow, they tell you to use window.close(), so I can imagine there are quite a few extensions out there that are affected by this bug.

I will submit a bug report later once I get a chance to do a bit more testing.

@dynamix I saw Nomadic pull on GH. Maybe could be useful to add this on the VB @DoctorG

@nomadic Or just sideloading your fork ^^

@Hadden89 Yep, it is an option. If you load it as an unpacked extension, select the /export-all-extensions/src folder as the directory.

@nomadic From what I've experienced, it's a crash, because there's a crash dump (which I submitted with my bug report).

Done.

@DoctorG Should I submit a separate bug report that is only about the window.close() behavior in popups or is the current report enough?

The extension developer merged my changes, so the extension will soon work properly in Vivaldi.

@nomadic The chrome store has the fixed version as of today. I tested it and it works, thanks for your patch

Please report as extra issue to Vivaldi bug tracker. If the reported are related to each other, the Vivaldi devs will link them.

@dynamix As extension was fixed, i closed bug VB-91604.
