This repository contains the platform-specific Adblock Plus source code for Chrome, Opera and Safari. It can be used to build Adblock Plus for these platforms, generic Adblock Plus code will be extracted from other repositories automatically (see dependencies file).
- Python 2.x
- The Jinja2 module
- The PIL module
- For signed Chrome and Opera builds: M2Crypto module
- For signed Safari builds: A patched version of the xar command line tool
Run one of the following commands in the project directory, depending on your target platform:
./build.py -t chrome build -k adblockpluschrome.pem
./build.py -t opera build -k adblockplusopera.pem
./build.py -t safari build -k adblockplussafari.pem
This will create a build with a name in the form adblockpluschrome-1.2.3.nnnn.crx or adblockplussafari-1.2.3.nnnn.safariextz. Note that you don't need an existing signing key for Chrome or Opera, a new key will be created automatically if the file doesn't exist. Safari on the other hand always requires a valid developer certificate, you need to get one in the Apple Developer Center first. adblockplussafari.pem should contain the private key for your developer certificate, the developer certificate itself as well as all the certificates it was signed with (Apple's root certificate and intermediate certificates) in PEM format - in that order.
To simplify the process of testing your changes you can create an unpacked development environment. For that run one of the following commands:
./build.py -t chrome devenv
./build.py -t opera devenv
./build.py -t safari devenv
This will create a devenv directory in the repository. In Chrome and Opera you should load it as an unpacked extension directory. After making changes to the source code re-run the command to update the development environment, the extension should reload automatically after a few seconds.
In Safari you should load devenv/adblockplussafari.safariextension as unpacked extension directory. After making changes to the source code re-run the command to update the development environment. You will still need to reload the extension explicitly in the Extension Builder, Safari currently doesn't allow automating this action.
To verify your changes you can use the unit test suite located in the qunit directory of the repository. In order to run the unit tests go to the extension's Options page, open the JavaScript Console and type in:
location.href = "qunit/index.html";
The unit tests will run automatically once the page loads.
