Offline Development with BP?

Hi,

is it possible to have a local install of the javascript tools for BP? I ask, cause I will spent sometime on a cruising ship the next week, but I am also having with BP. So, I would love to do some development in the evening hours while cruising along the norwegian shore.

Do I just need to download the js files which I include normally, or do you provide a description like YUI, where I can work completely offline?

Best regards,
Oliver

  • Hey Oliver,

    local copies of the javascript files will get you started. But you'll get bitten by the update mechanism in BrowserPlus.

    BrowserPlus every 24 hours will pull down a small signed permissions bundle, that contains a list of services and platform versions that have been "blacklisted". Services get blacklisted when we detect a security flaw in them. Without an updated bundle, browserplus will refuse to run. The bundle is nothing more than a json file on disk.

    There is a simple workaround, which is a tad hacky.

    find the bpstate.json file on your disk and open it in your favorite text editor. find the
    PermissionsManager::kLastCheckTSKey

    key, and change the value to some date in the future. I think this is all you'd need to do to hack away on your cruise. please share your experiences.

    very best,
    lloyd
