QUESTION

Is there an up-to-date (crx3) way to build a chromium extension (Edge+Chrome) using a CI jenkins pipeline (maven+nexus preferably)?

Asked 2021-Dec-22 at 11:48

I am building a self-hosted chromium extension for Edge and Chrome. So far I got a nice working CI pipeline using maven with this plugin (https://github.com/bmatthews68/crx-maven-plugin) and I managed to automate the versioning, packaging and signing of the .crx file, and upload to Nexus repository without much hassle (our intent was to point the upload URL to Nexus releases using group policies to get the extension deployed to users).

But we have found that the plugin is a bit outdated and uses crx2 format for the extension packaging. Support for crx2 was dropped a while ago (chromium v75 or so), and current browser versions require crx3 or won't install the extension.

Seems like the only reliable way to package a crx3 extension right now is using the chrome executable itself, but it does not look like the best idea for a CI pipeline :-/

Any suggestion is welcome!

As you mentioned, CRX2 was deprecated in Chrome 75 two years ago, there are some issues with CRX₂ and its support was completely removed in Chrome 78. Because all extensions must move to the CRX3 format!

I'm not sure how you built it with maven, maybe it was a script or something. In this case, you may need to modify your script appropriately, or find some reference documents that support CRX3 format related to the tools you are using to build the extension.

Otherwise you have to package it in crx3 format. Refer to this document.
