publish-edge-ext

This is a Deno script to publish a web extension for Edge.

Prerequisites

Assuming you have already created your web extension. If not, you need to create it first.

Log in to https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/microsoftedge/publishapi to get your CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET and ACCESS_TOKEN_URL.

Then navigate to the overview page of your extension, you will see PRODUCT_ID at the bottom.

Create a .env file with the required environment variables:

# Required
ACCESS_TOKEN_URL = 'your_access_token_url'
CLIENT_ID = 'your_client_id'
CLIENT_SECRET = 'your_client_secret'
PRODUCT_ID = 'your_product_id'

# Optional
NOTES = "content to be shown to the reviewers"

Usage

First create a zip file of your extension. Note this is the package you are going to submit, not your source code.

Then run the command below in the same directory as .env:

$ deno run -A https://raw.githubusercontent.com/violentmonkey/publish-edge-ext/main/main.ts my_extension.zip

Limitation

Edge doesn't provide an API to query the status of the last submission. We will add a new submission to the dashboard even if we upload the same version again.

As a result there is no way for us to decide whether a package has already been submitted, so we cannot decide whether to upload the package or just wait. This problem blocks automation. For now the only way I can think of is to run this command once manually after a new version is released for other browsers.
