I'm trying to amend the DOM using a chrome extension. Unfortunately I fail with accessing the new page after some of the actions cause a page change. My code looks like this:
content_script.js
(async () => {
try {
execute_edit = async () => {
console.log(document.title)
const el = document.getElementsByClassName("icon")
const first_el = el[0]
first_el.click()
}
change_element = async () => {
console.log(document.title)
const el = document.querySelector("element")
console.log(el.innerHTML)
}
await execute_edit()
await change_element()
} catch (e) {
console.log(e)
}
})();
I'm getting the error that the "el" in "change_element" does not exist. This is obviously caused by the fact that both "document.title" are identical i.e. the second function still tries to access the original DOM and not the new page.
Any suggestions on how I can have the second function "change_element" access the new page's DOM?
The project aims to study a new social media:
https://booyah.live/
My needs are:
1 - Collect data from profiles that follow a specific profile.
2 - My account use this data to follow the collected profiles.
3 - Among other possible options, also unfollow the profiles I follow.
The problem found in the current script:
The profile data in theory is being collected, the script runs perfectly until the end, but for some reason I can't specify, instead of following all the collected profiles, it only follows the base profile.
For example:
I want to follow all 250 profiles that follow the ID 123456
I activate the booyahGetAccounts(123456); script
In theory the end result would be my account following 250 profiles
But the end result I end up following only the 123456 profile, so the count of people I'm following is 1

I have to admit that it is really hard to read your code, I spent a lesser amount of time rewriting everything from scratch.
Stated that we need a code piece to be cut/pasted in the JavaScript console of web browsers able to store some data (i.e. expiration of followings and permanent followings) we need some considerations.
We can consider expiration of followings as volatile data: something that if lost can be reset to 1 day later from when we loose this data. window.localStorage is a perfect candidate to store these kind of data. If we change web browser the only drawback is that we loose the expiration of followings and we can tolerate to reset them to 1 day later from when we change browser.
While to store the list of permanent followings we need a permanent store even if we change web browser. The best idea that came to my mind is to create an alternative account with which to follow the users we never want to stop following. In my code I used uid 3186068 (a random user), once you have created your own alternative account, just replace the first line of the code block with its uid.
Another thing we need to take care is error handling: API could always have errors. The approach I chosen is to write myFetch which, in case of errors, retries twice the same call; if the error persists, probably we are facing a temporary booyah.live outage. Probably we just need to retry a bit later.
To try to provide a comfortable interface, the code blocks gathers the uid from window.location: to follow the followers of users, just cut/paste the code block on tabs opened on their profiles. For example I run the code from a tab open on https://booyah.live/studio/123456?source=44.
Last, to unfollow users the clean function is called 5 minutes later we paste the code (to not conflict with calls to follow followers) and than is executed one hour later it finishes its job. It is written to access the localStorage in an atomic way, so you can have many of them running simultaneously on different tabs of the same browser, you can not care about it. The only thing you need to take care it that when the window.location changes, all the JavaScript events in the tab are reset; so I suggest to keep a tab open on the home page, paste the code block on it, and forget about this tab; it will be the tab responsible of unfollowing users. Then open other tabs to do what you need, when you hit a user you want to follow the followers, paste the block on it, wait the job is finished and continue to use the tab normally.

The problem: I strongly suspect a booyah.live API bug
To test my code I run it from https://booyah.live/studio/123456?source=44.
If I run it multiple times I continue to get following output:
Fetching current followings...
Fetching permanent followings...
Syncing permanent followings...
Following 1801775...
Following 143823...
Following 137017...
Fetching this user followers...
Following 16884042...
Following 16166724...
There is bug somewhere! The expected output for subsequent executions in the same tab would be:
Fetching current followings...
Fetching permanent followings...
Syncing permanent followings...
Fetching this user followers...
After seeking the bug in my code without success, I checked booyah.live APIs: if I navigate following URLs (the uids are the ones the code continue to follow in subsequent executions)
https://booyah.live/studio/1801775
https://booyah.live/studio/143823
https://booyah.live/studio/137017
https://booyah.live/studio/16884042
https://booyah.live/studio/16166724
I can clearly see I follow them, but if I navigate https://booyah.live/following (the list of users I follow) I can't find them, neither if I scroll the page till the end.
Since I do exactly the same calls the website does, I strongly suspect the bug is in booyah.live APIs, exactly in the way they handle the cursor parameter.
I suggest you to open a support ticket to booyah.live support team. You could use the test account you provided us: I already provided you the details to do that. ;)
I am working on a small project, and I have a hard time reaching what I need. I've already requested some help on another matter about this project, but I'm at a loss again, I think this time because I've bitten a bit more than I could chew.
So here goes : I'm using the Musicbrainz API to retrieve informations for a specific track using it's id (it's length, release date, artists, etc ...).
But I'm trying to also show below the details of the track the covers of all the releases where the track is present. This require new requests for each of the release. I manage to retrieve the URLs of the images that I need and push them into an array that I then map / join to add some <img> element so that it can render in the HTML.
However, my issue is that when I click on the button to show more details about a specific track, which in turn fires the function controlTrackDetail in my controller (I've tried to implement some basic MVC architecture as practice ...), the first part of the "rendering" (the general informations from TrackView.render) is fine, but the second part (the covers) is not. I gathered that when I call my CoverView.renderCovers method, the array used as a parameter is still empty, and as such, nothing happens. If I don't empty the array, and click again on my button, it does show all my covers, but only because the URL are those of the previous call to controlTrackDetail.
If anyone has any idea as to how I could tackle this, and only render the covers after all the request in the forEach loop unqReleaseCoversUrl(mbid.id) of API calls is done, that would help me plenty. Below, you'll find the "important" snippets of code to (hopefully) understand my issue.
GET_JSON function (race between a fetch and timeout)
export const GET_JSON = async function (url) {
try {
const res = await Promise.race([
fetch(url),
timeout(CONSTANTS.TIMEOUT_SEC),
]);
const data = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${data.message} (${res.status})`);
return data;
} catch (err) {
throw err;
}
};
The model part, where I create the loadTrackDetails function to recover the informations I need.
import { CONSTANTS } from "./config.js";
import { CONVERT_MILLIS_TO_MINS_SECONDS } from "./helpers.js";
import { GET_JSON } from "./helpers.js";
import { SHORTEN_STRING } from "./helpers.js";
import { CONSTRUCT_URL_PART } from "./helpers.js";

loadTrackDetail("738920d3-c6e6-41c7-b504-57761bb625fd");
*/
export const details = {
trackDetails: {},
artistDetails: {},
releaseDetails: {},
coverUrlArray: [],
};
export const loadTrackDetail = async function (id) {
try {
const trackData = await GET_JSON(
encodeURI(

)
);
details.trackDetails = {
trackTitle: trackData.title ?? "No title provided",
trackID: trackData.id,

}))
: "No information on releases",
trackGenres: trackData["genres"].length
? trackData["genres"]

};
if (details.trackDetails.trackReleasesCleanOne.length > 0) {
details.trackDetails.trackReleasesCleanOne.forEach((mbid) =>
unqReleaseCoversUrl(mbid.id)
);
}
details.coverUrlArray = details.coverUrlArray.filter(function (element) {
return element !== undefined;
});
console.log(details.coverUrlArray);
} catch (err) {
throw err;
}
};
/*
*/
export const unqReleaseCoversUrl = async function (mbid) {
try {
const coverData = await GET_JSON(
encodeURI(`${CONSTANTS.COVER_API_URL}${mbid}`)
);
console.log(coverData.images);
coverData.images.forEach((image) => {
image.thumbnails["500"]
? details.coverUrlArray.push(image.thumbnails["500"])
: null;
});
} catch (err) {
throw err;
}
};
And finally, the controller part, fired on click on a button
const controlTrackDetail = async function (trackID) {
try {
TrackView.renderSpinner();
await detailsModel.loadTrackDetail(trackID);
// 2) Rendering Recipe
TrackView.render(detailsModel.details.trackDetails);
CoverView.renderSpinner();
CoverView.renderCovers(detailsModel.details.coverUrlArray);
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
};
Like I said, this works ... fine (though I guess it's not really clean ...), aside from the fact that I'm rendering my covers early, and I'm just not sure how to delay it until the URLs are pushed into the arrays.
Thanks for reading me !
PS : here are a few pictures to understand.
On first click, what I see (nothing appears below Cover Arts, where the rendering of the covers should happen) :
After a few milliseconds, the array is filled with the URLs I need :
And when I go back to the results, and click on any button without emptying the array, it is used to render the covers using the URLs that I pushed the first time around (and this array will carry on growing !)
I'm writing a Firefox browser extension, and I'm stuck on how to wait for a content script to load before sending a message from the background script.
This is the sequence I'm trying to achieve:
User clicks context menu item (click handler is in background script)
Background script creates new tab
Content script loads fully in new tab
Background script sends message (with data) to content script
Content script uses data
Obviously, the content script needs to be loaded for step 4 to work; otherwise, the message doesn't get received.
I looked at previous similar questions, but most of the answers are incorrect (they wrap the event listener methods in a Promise, which either results in too many listeners or too few Promises), or they seem not-applicable to my scenario (those answers get around the question entirely by putting one callback inside the other; that wouldn't work here).
What I did try so far was to have the content script send a message when it's ready, and that works, but I'm still not sure how to have the click handler (from step 1) wait for a message from the content script (hypothetical step 3.5).
I assume I'd have to define the message handler outside the click handler, as far as I know, unless there's a way to receive the message inside the click handler.
Here's my current code as a minimal working example:
background.js:
let ports = {
'1': null,
'2': null
};
xyz = () => { /*...*/ }
tabHasLoaded = () => { /*...*/ }
browser.runtime.onConnect.addListener(connectHandler);
connectHandler = (p) => {
ports[p.name] = p;
switch (p.name) {
case '1':
ports['1'].addListener(xyz);
break;
case '2':
ports['2'].addListener(tabHasLoaded);
break;
}
};
browser.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener((info, tab) => {
let data, uri;
//...
browser.tabs.create({
url: uri
}).then((tab) => {
// need to wait for tabHasLoaded() to get called
ports['2'].postMessage({
msg: data
})
});
});
1.js (content script for something else):
let myPort = browser.runtime.connect({
name: '1'
});
document.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
myPort.postMessage({
msg: e.target.id
});
});
2.js (content script for new tab, after clicking context menu):
let myPort = browser.runtime.connect({
name: '2'
});
myPort.postMessage({
msg: "READY" // tabHasLoaded() should now get called in background.js
});
myPort.onMessage.addListener((msg) => {
// waiting for background.js to send me data
});
Is there an ideal way to handle this?
i still think promises are the way to go...
update
change code to use your MWE... please note that this is untested/not-optimized code just to outline the idea... it should look something like this:
background.js

xyz = () => { /*...*/ }
browser.runtime.onConnect.addListener(connectHandler);
connectHandler = (p) => {
ports[p.name] = p;
switch (p.name) {
case '1':
ports['1'].addListener(xyz);
break;
}
};
browser.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(async (info, tab) => {
let data, uri;
//...
const tab = await LoadAndWaitForPort2(uri)
ports['2'].postMessage({msg: data})
});
function LoadAndWaitForPort2(uri){
return new Promise((resolve, reject)=>{
const tab
const tabHasLoaded = (evt) => {
if(evt.data.msg === "READY"){
ports['2'].removeListener(tabHasLoaded)
resolve(tab)
} else {
reject("error!")
}
}
ports['2'].addListener(tabHasLoaded)
tab = await browser.tabs.create({url: uri})
})
}
2.js
let myPort = browser.runtime.connect({
name: '2'
});
myPort.postMessage({
msg: "READY" // tabHasLoaded() should now get called in background.js
});
myPort.onMessage.addListener((msg) => {
// waiting for background.js to send me data
});
this.switchWindowByTitle = async function (title) {
await browser.getAllWindowHandles().then(function (handles) {
handles.forEach(function (handle) {
console.log(handle.toString());
browser.switchTo.window(handle);
if (browser.getTitle() == title) {
return true;
}
});
});
I'm using Protractor to work with Chrome browser and try to close window popup by compare title. I get all window handles and for each of this but my code is just only checked with the first value of list handles.
Can anyone help me to fix it?
Here is my issue detail. It just checks first value and then compares the title
