When a new child window is spawned (such as for a Google login popup), those child windows were not receiving the mainWindow's properties. Chiefly among this was the userAgent which caused a bug in #831
This PR adds an optional, customizable menu of predefined bookmarks. In addition to containing a list of bookmarks, this file customizes the name of the menu and (optionally) allows assigning keyboard shortcuts to bookmarks. It adds a new command-line flag, `--bookmarks-menu <string>`, which can be set as the path to a JSON file containing configuration for the bookmarks menu.
Example of such a JSON file:
```json
{
"menuLabel": "Music",
"bookmarks": [
{
"title": "lofi.cafe",
"url": "https://lofi.cafe/",
"type": "link",
"shortcut": "Cmd+1"
},
{
"title": "beats to relax/study to",
"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A",
"type": "link",
"shortcut": "Cmd+2"
},
{
"type": "separator"
},
{
"title": "RÜFÜS DU SOL Live from Joshua Tree",
"type": "link",
"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy4KtD98S2c"
}
]
}
```
## Checks
- [x] `npm run ci` passes
## Notes
Compared to the fork linked in #1065, this PR:
- adds no dependencies
- doesn't currently support submenus (this should be easy enough to add, but I didn't need it)

As discussed in #283 this PR will allow injected JS to do SOME interaction with the Electron session.
There is a full explanation of what this feature can, and cannot do, with examples in the api.md documentation.
This will provide a path for resolving many of our issues where users may "self-service" the solution by injecting JS that performs the task needed to meet their objectives.

I'd like to 1. merge this PR, 2. immediately follow up with a small commit removing the flag & adjusting api.md, 3. release with the change well-documented / asking for feedback if this is problematic to anyone. (I'm not asking you any extra work, and like leaving an in-tree commit trace of considering the flag). If people complain with a valid reason, we'll restore the flag with a quick revert, else we're happy with one less flag and a reasonably-handled breaking change.

As documented in https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/issues/923#issuecomment-599300317 ,
- #923 is caused by installing placeholder app deps at nativefier
*install* time, with yarn (8.0.2) or npm (8.0.3). This is new in
Nativefier 8.x, for the motivations behind it, see
https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/pull/898#issuecomment-583865045
- During testing, I did test global installs, but never to a
system / non-user-writable path (my `$npm_config_prefix` is set to
`"$HOME/.node_modules"`)
- But without such a config and when installing globally to a
non-user-writable/system path with `sudo npm i -g nativefier`,
- Installation of nativefier core works...
- ... but then `postinstall` tries to do its job of installing
app deps, and fails in various OS-dependent ways, but all about
access rights.
I suspect that, although main nativefier install runs as `su` with
access rights to system paths, `postinstall` scripts are run *out*
of `su`.
That would make sense for security reasons: out of hook scripts,
npm knows exactly what will be touched in your filesystem: it's the
static contents of the published tarball; a postinstall script with
sudo rights could do nasty dynamic stuff. So, although I don't see
any mention of that in
[npm-scripts docs / hooks](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts#hook-scripts)
and I haven't dug npm/cli's code, I can understand it.
So, reverting back to `webpack`ing the placeholder app, as done pre-8.0.
## Breaking changes
- Require **Node >= 8.10.0 and npm 5.6.0**
- Move to **Electron 8.1.1**.
- That's it. Lots of care went into breaking CLI & programmatic behavior
as little as possible. **Please report regressions**.
- Known issue: build may fail behind a proxy. Get in touch if you use one:
https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/issues/907#issuecomment-596144768
## Changes summary
Nativefier didn't get much love recently, to the point that it's
becoming hard to run on recent Node, due to old dependencies.
Also, some past practices now seem weird, as better expressible
by modern JS/TS, discouraging contributions including mine.
Addressing this, and one thing leading to another, came a
bigger-than-expected revamp, aiming at making Nativefier more
**lean, stable, future-proof, user-friendly and dev-friendly**,
while **not changing the CLI/programmatic interfaces**. Highlights:
- **Require Node>=8**, as imposed by many of our dependencies. Node 8
is twice LTS, and easily available even in conservative Linux distros.
No reason not to demand it.
- **Default to Electron 8**.
- **Bump** all dependencies to latest version, including electron-packager.
- **Move to TS**. TS is great. As of today, I see no reason not to use it,
and fight interface bugs at runtime rather than at compile time.
With that, get rid of everything Babel/Webpack.
- **Move away from Gulp**. Gulp's selling point is perf via streaming,
but for small builds like Nativefier, npm tasks are plenty good
and less dependency bloat. Gulp was the driver for this PR: broken
on Node 12, and I didn't feel like just upgrading and keeping it.
- Add tons of **verbose logs** everywhere it makes sense, to have a
fine & clear trace of the program flow. This will be helpful to
debug user-reported issues, and already helped me fix a few bugs.
- With better simple logging, get rid of the quirky and buggy
progress bar based on package `progress`. Nice logging (minimal
by default, the verbose logging mentioned above is only used
when passing `--verbose`) is better and one less dependency.
- **Dump `async` package**, a relic from old callback-hell early Node.
Also dump a few other micro-packages unnecessary now.
- A first pass of code **cleanup** thanks to modern JS/TS features:
fixes, simplifications, jsdoc type annotations to types, etc.
- **Remove GitHub integrations Hound & CodeClimate**, which are more
exotic than good'ol'linters, and whose signal-to-noise ratio is too low.
- Quality: **Add tests** and add **Windows + macOS CI builds**.
Also, add a **manual test script**, helping to quickly verify the
hard-to-programatically-test stuff before releases, and limit regressions.
- **Fix a very small number of existing bugs**. The goal of this PR was
*not* to fix bugs, but to get Nativefier in better shape to do so.
Bugfixes will come later. Still, these got addressed:
- Add common `Alt`+`Left`/`Right` for previous/next navigation.
- Improve #379: fix zoom with `Ctrl` + numpad `+`/`-`
- Fix pinch-to-zoom (see https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/issues/379#issuecomment-598612128 )
The API `tray.setHighlightMode(mode)` has been be removed in electron v7.0
without replacement.
This causes the display of an error dialog every time an app is
shown/hidden if the parameter `--tray` is used when nativefying. This is
completely independent form the website you are nativefying and it
happens with all the version of electron after 6.x.
Source: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/breaking-changes#tray
**Resolves #855**
**Example result upon Terminal launch:**
`WARNING: Ignored nativefier.json rewrital (Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/lib/jupyter-remote-client/resources/app/nativefier.json')`
**Behaviour:**
+ Instead of crashing, the application properly opens and is always maximized.
+ When permissions are R/W, the application is maximized on first launch and the closing states are remembered by the OS throughout launches.
nodeIntegration is required if eg. Javascript code makes use of the
`require` expression to import classes into the current scope. login.js
uses an electron import - without it, the callback mechanism does not
work, and thus the whole login functionality.
Electron seems to have changed the default value for a windows `nodeIntegration` to `false` since version 5 (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55093700/electron-5-0-0-uncaught-referenceerror-require-is-not-defined)
Without the integration, the login component's functionality is broken, though. This PR enables the nodeIntegration feature for the login window and makes it properly propagate the given credentials.
Tested with Electron 6.0.0 on Linux.
On Linux if you try to change the keyboard layout with Alt + Shift,
the menu will pop up. Shortcuts are needed because Electron opens
the first menu on pressing `Alt` if no hotkey is assigned.

* Fix for CSS Injection not working (#703)
Issue:
When using `onHeadersReceived`, the code was passing `null` for the filters.
This appears to trigger behaviour that matches _no_ urls at all.
This results in it never being called to inject the CSS.
Fix:
Pass an empty array instead. Now it's called for all URLs.
Tests pass & linting is clean
* Fix JavaScript injection (#731)
Issue:
It appears that on low endd evices (Core m3 MacBook), the attachment to
`DOMContentLoaded` happens _after_ the event has been raised, so does
not have a chance to inject the script.
Fix:
Move the attachment to the top of the file -- before the imports. This
triggers a bunch of linting erros, so also added disablement inplace.
Additional:
Clarified when the injected JS gets loaded, and what it can assume about
the DOM.
When the `getCurrentUrl` function was refactored to make use of the `withFocusedWindow` function in ac99c6424d, it stopped returning a value and broke the "Copy Current URL" feature (#633).
This change restores the original behavior of the getCurrentURL function and makes the "Copy Current URL" feature functional again.
When using an app such as Gmail, the unread count is included in the title, and the --counter feature displays that number on the dock icon. However, when the number is larger than 999, it includes commas in the number (e.g. "1,000"), and the number is no longer displayed on the dock icon, because the regular expression used to detect the counter value does not permit punctuation. This change modifies the regular expression used to match the counter value to permit "." and ",".
* Fix sites that use about:blank redirect technique
When you open some links with Google Calendar, instead of opening the link directly, the site opens a new window with the location 'about:blank' and then sets the new window's document content to include a refresh directive to open the actual link. This change causes the 'about:blank' links to be handled internally so that the technique can actually work.
* Hide 'about:blank' windows while they perform the redirect
After a new window is created for an 'about:blank' link, the redirect occurs, which causes another window to be opened. This change causes the 'about:blank' to be created hidden, and then closed entirely once the redirect finishes.
* Add tests for `linkIsInternal`
* Refactor onNewWindow to make it testable
The tab feature introduced by #579 included a change that checks the `disposition` parameter and conditionally creates tabs, and that check was placed prior to the check to see if the URL is internal. This change moves the `linkIsInternal()` check earlier so that external links are always opened externally, regardless of disposition.
