Feat

Automatic discovery of configuration files

web-ext will load existing configuration files in the following order:

• A config file named .web-ext-config.js in your home directory
• ......
• A config file named web-ext-config.js in the current directory.

about Automatic discovery of configuration files, I hope that support .web-ext-config.js in the current directory, instead of web-ext-config.js.

i dont undestand why the name of configuration files is different home dir and current dir. I don't think it's necessary

I don't understand the naming choice either; it was proposed in #730.

We can support another config file by adding it to https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext/blob/3ff64882d0e46c2952cbd661541981d68cc0a03f/src/config.js#L151C28-L158 , plus unit tests. For relevant files to touch, see the PR where the feature was originally introduced: #1161.

We should merge this change only at the next major version update, because the inclusion of a config file can potentially change the observed behavior. For example, a project could have a template .web-ext-config.js file with placeholders that someone should fill in.

@willdurand Let me know if this requires qa and what to check.

[willdurand]

@ioanarusiczki yes please. This is about making sure that we can use a config file named .web-ext-config.js (with the leading dot).

@willdurand

Inside add-ons folder I've added .web-ext-config.js (in my case empty) started an upload
At the beginning of the upload I see the file is applied like .\.web-ext-config.js

I hope that's expected, a bit confusing because here mentions a slash being used (not backslash) later edit I found the explanation, I'm working on Windows and slashed are probably on Linux and MacOS

the file is applied like .\.web-ext-config.js

@ioanarusiczki
path.join() will resolve the slash base on system, generally speaking we don't need to care about slashes.
