Bug 246613 – include_globs not supported for content_scripts

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: WebKit Extensions

[Carlos J.]

Currently trying to port a web extension over to safari which heavily relies on the include_globs property of content_scripts. There is currently no alternative here.

One of the use cases here is to help collapse permissions.

If you have these two content scripts:
Code Block language
{
      "css": [ "style-a.css" ],
      "matches": [ "https://*.example.com/*" ],
      "include_globs": [ "https://a.example.com/*style=a*" ],
      "run_at": "document_start"
},
{
      "css": [ "style-b.css" ],
      "matches": [ "https://*.example.com/*" ],
      "include_globs": [ "https://b.example.google.com/*style=b*" ],
      "run_at": "document_start"
}


The permissions for these content scripts would merge into *.example.com, and the permission would be a clean host permission.

Thank you for the report. This will continue to be tracked by Apple internally as a Safari issue, not a webKit one.

We are tracking bugs in WebKit for Web Extensions now as we move extensions support from Safari to WebKit.

But this is a dupe of bug 246492.
