Install any Safari Web Extension from the Mac App Store (e.g. DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Bitwarden Password Manager).
Resize the Safari window until the extension browser_action icon is forced into the overflow menu (>> at the far right of the toolbar).
Open the overflow menu and click the menu item for the extension. Nothing happens.
This even occurs when using the sample extension "Sea Creator" developed by Apple. You can build it and try it out by following the instructions on this page: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions/developing_a_safari_web_extension

Anyone know what's going on here? Or does anyone have a workaround to get the extension popup to appear when invoked from this menu?
I am working on a custom Safari extension and would like to debug the Background scripts. I am not certain how to do this? Ideally, if there was a way to step into the background scripts, that would be great. But when I try to step into a background call, the Safari debugger just steps to the next line. The console.log within the background scripts do not get printed to the console (This is the console I launched from right clicking a popover that is part of the extension and then hitting inspect).
Any help on this would be great. Thank you.
This is an old question that asks about a different type of Safari extensions but I figured it could be helpful to add an updated answer now that Safari (v14) supports the Web Extensions API (similar to the API that all other major browsers use).
Debugging background scripts is now built into the Safari menu in the toolbar: "Develop" => "Web Extension Background Pages" => select your (enabled) extension. That should open the dev tools with all your background scripts where you can set breakpoints, check the network tab, etc..
As a side note, you can debug your extension's popup by opening it, right clicking the popup and clicking "Inspect Element".
In case this comes useful for someone - I figured out a way to view console statements in the background scripts. Open the extension builder and click on Inspect Global Page. Go to the console tab and the console.log messages in the background scripts will be printed in that console.
Now you can use Safari Preview to debug your Safari App Extension. There is a control to select the extension container at the lower-right corner of the console.
I've build an application using CefSharp.WinForms.
All is good but when any website uses to show PDF it'll show a blank page.
Can any one help me how can i resolve this issue.
I am using selenium to automate some downloading tasks, but some pages start the downloads automatically and I need to know the links of those downloads during or after the download and the link is not available in the page.
How can I get the URL of the files that started downloading automatically?
If you are using Chrome to run your selenium scripts you can just navigate to the chrome://downloads/ and get the latest download file's URL.
Or you can fire a Ctrl+J keyboard action to the browser using java robot classes and open the tab.
(Chrome downloads page is a html page and you can capture elements in it)
I'm working on a safari extension. I've included a start script in it, but it is not working with download link. for instance if I navigate to www.example.com/example.zip script is not getting called. I was wondering if it is possible to get it to work with download links?
