✨ Allow logs collection on file:// URL

[kcaffrey]

Motivation

The motivation for this change is to allow logging from an Electron app, where it is standard to bundle the JS with webpack and serve the bundle from a file locally.

Changes

This change remove the local file check to allow logs SDK initialization when the page is served from file:// protocol.

Testing

There are no automated tests for this change, as I did not see any pre-existing tests for the local file initialization check, but I tested by building the bundle and pointing my app's dependency to that version rather than the live version of the browser-sdk.

I have gone over the contributing documentation.

Thanks for your contribution @kcaffrey, it has been released with 2.5.0!

I'm also using electron, and this change allows it to run, but I'm still getting a Cookies are not authorized, we will not send any data when serving from the file.

I tried to enable useCrossSiteSessionCookie to fix it, however according to the docs that implies requiring https which obviously isn't met here.

Any suggestions for this specific usecase if anyone else has run into would be appreciated, and I'll update this comment if I figure it out.

Hello @johnpyp,

Are you using only Logs SDK on 2.5.0 version?
If further help is needed, would you mind opening a new issue?

Thanks!
