Beastify xpi problem about webextensions-examples HOT 11 CLOSED

i got some error like you .

from webextensions-examples.

@linhnhuonglt, @jceation: beastify does not work in Firefox, yet, because of outstanding bugs. But it should install. Could you somehow make your XPI available to me, and I'll take a look?

@wbamberg Thanks for your replies
Because my command line cannot understand 'zip' keyword , I tried to zip by clicking on right mouse and selecting "add to archive" then rename this file from .zip to .xpi . so I got borderify.xpi . I think it make problem .
I also installed in Firefox nightly , but it wasnt working !!!
My borderify.xpi in https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxth9u5D0bPBUVFndkktUzhWQWM/view?usp=sharing

@jceation, I can't open this XPI using command-line zip :(. I get this error:

End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of b.zip or
    b.zip.zip, and cannot find b.zip.ZIP, period.

Are you running Windows? Unfortunately I don't have a Windows environment I can try this out with. Could you perhaps try installing 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) and see if you can zip the files from the command line using that? There's a useful-looking guide here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19240653/how-to-create-xpi-file-with-7zip. I think the command-line version on Windows would be this:

7z a ..\<extension_name>.xpi * -r

Hello , i have the same problème , i use command line 7z a ..\beastify.xpi * -r, make an xpi file , when i drop it in Mozilla , it tell me : This addon could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt.

How can i put it in Mozilla ? The file is good ?

I've try with borderify , is the same..

Thx in advance!

Hello , my xpi : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7oV2LehKzeoWXJ0RjcyT3NfX1U i don't know why it doesn't work :( , and a question for you , On trello i saw you have to do WebExtension , and i want to know when WebExtension will be done ? Thx Wbamberg !

from webextensions-examples.

The XPI you shared installs for me in Firefox Nightly (44).

On trello i saw you have to do WebExtension
and i want to know when WebExtension will be done ?

I'm just writing the docs, not implementing the thing. I think we are still working out when v1.0 of WebExtensions will ship.

from webextensions-examples.

Hi ! Ok i wasn't try on Nightly but , think you Webextension will be avaliable on FireFox (40+) this year?

Thank you for Having taken time to take care of my problem!

from webextensions-examples.

What's currently in Nightly will (probably) be in release Firefox at the end of January 2016 (see https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar#Future_branch_dates). But what's currently in Nightly is definitely not a 1.0 release of WebExtensions, yet: it's still experimental.

I'm pleased that helped, and am closing this for now.
