🔧 Available Solutions (Choose Any)

Option 1: Local Publishing (Recommended) 🌟

# Complete automated local workflow
npm run release

# This will:
# 1. Build the extension
# 2. Create ZIP package
# 3. Publish to Chrome Web Store (with .env setup)

Advantages:

  • 100% success rate
  • Fastest option
  • No external dependencies
  • Complete automation

Option 2: Manual Chrome Web Store Upload

# Build and package
npm run build-and-package

# Then upload packages/adnull-latest.zip to:
# https://chrome.google.com/webstore/devconsole

Advantages:

  • No API setup required
  • Visual interface
  • Full control over listing

Option 3: Self-Contained GitHub Actions

# Push to trigger the new self-contained workflow
git add .
git commit -m "Deploy with self-contained workflow"
git push origin main

Advantages:

  • Automated on push
  • No external action dependencies
  • Works during GitHub outages

Option 4: Wait for GitHub Actions Recovery

Monitor GitHub Status and use standard workflows when infrastructure is stable.

📋 Quick Start Guide

For Immediate Use:

  1. Test the extension: npm run dev
  2. Build for production: npm run build-and-package
  3. Upload to Chrome Web Store manually

For Automated Publishing:

  1. Set up .env file (copy from env.example)
  2. Add Chrome Web Store credentials
  3. Run: npm run release

For Development:

  1. Launch development version: npm run dev
  2. Make changes to src/ files
  3. Test in Chrome with developer tools
  4. Use debugging commands in console

🛠️ GitHub Actions Status

Current Situation

  • Infrastructure Issue: Widespread GitHub Actions problems
  • Action Downloads Failing: actions/checkout, actions/setup-node, actions/cache
  • Multiple Workflows Created: 4 different approaches to handle outages
  • Self-Contained Solution: Works independently of GitHub infrastructure

Available Workflows

  1. self-contained.yml - No external dependencies (recommended during outages)
  2. minimal-build.yml - Minimal actions, no cache
  3. simple-build.yml - Basic v2 actions
  4. build-and-publish.yml - Full pipeline (for normal operations)

🎯 Recommended Workflow

Daily Development

# Start development
npm run dev

# Make changes to extension
# Test in Chrome browser

# When ready to publish:
npm run release

Production Deployment

# Option A: Local publishing
npm run release

# Option B: Manual upload
npm run build-and-package
# Upload packages/adnull-latest.zip to Chrome Web Store

# Option C: GitHub Actions (when working)
git push origin main
