Bug 202337 – [GTK] Can't load file:// resources linked from file:// pages

• Status: NEW
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Michael Gratton]

Epiphany 3.34 doesn't seem to be able to load linked file: content, even when referenced from a file: page.

Loading Geary's locally generated valadoc from file:///home/mjog/Projects/GNOME/geary/valadoc/index.html, I get a page with no CSS or JS loaded and the following in the console:

> [Error] Not allowed to load local resource: file:///home/mjog/Projects/GNOME/geary/valadoc/style.css (index.html, line 6)
> [Error] Not allowed to load local resource: file:///home/mjog/Projects/GNOME/geary/valadoc/scripts.js

Further, clicking on one of the links to another local gives a similar error and the link is not loaded:

> [Error] Not allowed to load local resource: file:///home/mjog/Projects/GNOME/geary/valadoc/geary/index.htm

This was working fine with 2.24, seems to have broken in 2.26.

Is there at least any way to disable the sandbox? This is really breaking my development workflow.

WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 ought to work.

I'm hearing on IRC that it doesn't avoid this bug, which makes me suspect this might not be a bubblewrap sandbox issue after all. Try it and see...?

I think that was some confusion over a secondary app instance not propagating the environment back to the primary instance... i.e. that environment variable should work ;)

That works perfectly, thanks Michael!
