This commit improves the revert script for store apps to handle
scenarios where `Get-AppxPackage` returns multiple packages. Instead of
relying on a single package result, the script now iterates over all
found packages and attempts installation using the `AppxManifest.xml`
for each. This ensures that even if multiple versions or instances of a
package are found, the script will robustly handle and attempt to install
each one until successful.
Other changes:
- Add better message with suggestion if the revert code fails, as
discussed in #270.
- Improve robustness of finding manifest path by using `Join-Path`
instead of basic string concatenation. This resolves wrong paths being
built due to missing `\` in file path.
- Add check for null or empty `InstallLocation` before accessing
manifest path. It prevents errors when accessing `AppxManifest.xml`,
enhancing script robustness and reliability.
- Improve error handling in manifest file existence check with try-catch
block to catch and log exceptions, ensuring uninterrupted script
execution in edge cases such as when the script lacks access to read
the directory.
- Add verification of package installation before attempting to install
the package for increased robustness.
- Add documentation for revertCode.
This commit unifies some of the logic, documentation and naming for
Firefox clean-up with improvements on both Linux and Windows platforms.
Windows:
- 'Clear browsing history and cache':
- Not recommend.
- Align script name and logic with Linux implementation.
- New documentation and not including the script in recommendation
provides safety against unintended data loss as discussed in #273.
- 'Clear Firefox user profiles, settings, and data':
- Rename to 'Clear all Firefox user information and preferences' for
improved clarity.
- Add more documentation.
Linux:
- Replace `DeleteFromFirefoxProfiles` with
`DeleteFilesFromFirefoxProfiles`.
- Migrate implementation to Python:
- Add more user-friendly outputs.
- Exclude removing directory itself for additional safety.
Both Linux and Windows:
- Improve documentation for:
- 'Clear Firefox user profiles, settings, and data'
- 'Clear Firefox history'
- Migrate from "Vue 2.X" to "Vue 3.X"
- Migrate from "Vue Test Utils v1" to "Vue Test Utils v2"
Changes in detail:
- Change `inserted` to `mounted`.

- Add missing unit tests for `UseTreeViewFilterEvent`.
- Add missing stub for `FilterChangeDetails`.
This commit changes the system app removal functionality in privacy.sexy
to perform a hard delete, while preserving the soft-delete logic for
handling residual files.
It improves in-code documentation to facilitate a clearer understanding
of the code execution flow, as the logic for removing system apps has
grown in complexity and length.
Transitioning to a hard-delete approach resolves issues related to
residual links to soft-deleted apps:
- Resolves issue with Edge remaining in the installed apps list (#236).
- Resolves issue with Edge remaining in the programs list (#194).
- Resolves issue with Edge shortcuts persisting in the start menu (#73).
Other changes:
- `RunPowerShell`:
- Introduce `codeComment` and `revertCodeComment` parameters for
improved in-code documentation.
- `CommentCode`:
- Simplify naming to `Comment`.
- Rename `comment` to `codeComment` for clarity.
- Add functionality to comment on revert with the `revertCodeComment`
parameter.
This commit unifies the way the files are being deleted by introducing
the `DeleteFiles` function. It refactors existing scripts that are
deleting files to use the new function, to improve their documentation
and increase their safety.
Script changes:
- 'Clear Software Reporter Tool logs':
- Rename to: 'Clear Google's "Software Reporter Tool" logs'
- 'Clear credentials in Windows Credential Manager':
- Migrate code to PowerShell, removing the need to delete files.
- Improve error messages and robustness of the implementation.
- 'Clear Nvidia residual telemetry files':
- Extract to two scripts for more granularity and better
documentation:
1. 'Disable Nvidia telemetry components'
2. 'Disable Nvidia telemetry drivers'
- Change the logic so instead of clearing directory contents and
deleting drivers, it conducts a soft delete for reversibility to
prioritize user safety.
- 'Remove OneDrive residual files':
- Improve documentation
- 'Clear primary Windows telemetry file':
- Rename to 'Clear diagnostics tracking logs'.
- Add missing file paths seen on modern versions of Windows.
- Add more documentation.
- 'Clear Windows Update History (`WUAgent`) system logs':
- Rename to 'Clear Windows update files'.
- Add more documentation.
- 'Clear Cryptographic Services diagnostic traces':
- Rename to 'Clear "Cryptographic Services" diagnostic traces'.
- Add more documentation.
Other changes:
- Improve `DeleteGlob`:
- Add iteration callbacks for its reusability.
- Improve its documentation.
- Make recursion optional.
- Improve sanity check (verification) logic for given glob when
granting permissions.
- Fix granting permissions using wrong variable to find out parent
directory.
- Improve `IterateGlob`:
- Use `Get-Item` to get results. This fixes `DeleteDirectory` not
being able to delete directory itself but just its contents.
- Introduce and use `recurse` parameter to provide optional recursive
search logic (to search in subdirectories) using `Get-ChildItem`.
- Fix wrong PowerShell syntax for `$revert` variable value for
`revertCode`: replace `true` with `$true`.
- Order iterated paths based on their length to process the deepest
item first.
- Improve handling of missing files with correct/informative outputs
when granting permissions.
- Improve `SoftDeleteFiles`:
- Introduce and use `recurse` parameter for explicitness.
- Fix undefined `$backupFilePath` by replacing it with correct
`$originalFilePath`.
- Improve documentation.
- Ensure consistent use of instructive language in code comments.
This commit fixes an issue where the tooltip position becomes inaccurate
after resizing the window.
The solution uses `autoUpdate` functionality of `floating-ui` to update
the position automatically on resize events. This function depends on
browser APIs: `IntersectionObserver` and `ResizeObserver`. The official
documentation recommends polyfilling those to support old browsers.
Polyfilling `ResizeObserver` is already part of the codebase, used by
`SizeObserver.vue`. This commit refactors polyfill logic to be reusable
across different components, and reuses it on `TooltipWrapper.vue`.
Polyfilling `IntersectionObserver` is ignored due to this API being
older and more widely supported.
This commit improves soft file delete logic:
- Unify logic for soft deleting single files and system apps.
- Rename `RenameSystemFile` templating function to `SoftDeleteFiles` so
new name gives clarity to:
- It's not necessarily single file being renamed but can be multiple
files.
- It's not necessarily system files being renamed, but can also work
without granting extra permissions.
- Grant permissions for only files that will be backed up, skipping
unnecessarily granting permissions to folders/other files. Both
`SeRestorePrivilege` and `SeTakeownershipPrivileges` are claimed and
revoked as necessary.
- Make granting permissions optional through `grantPermissions`
parameter. Do not take permissions if not needed.
- Restore permissions to system default after file is renamed. Before
both deletion of system apps and renaming system files did not restore
their original permissions. This might leave user computers
vulnerable, which is fixed in this commit. It ensures that the
system's original security posture is preserved.
- Deleting system apps is now independent of `Get-AppxPackage`,
improving its robustness and enabling their execution once system apps
are hard-deleted (#260)
- Introduce common way to share glob iteration logic of how the
directories are being cleaned up. It reuses most of the logic from
former `DeleteGlob` with some improvements:
- Simplify call to `Get-ChildItem` by avoiding `-Filter` parameter.
- Improve reliability of getting parent directory in `DeleteGlob`
sanity check to use .NET's `[System.IO.Path]` methods.
The previous implementation of `WithParser` used regex, which struggles
with parsing nested structures correctly. This commit improves
`WithParser` to track and parse all nested `with` expressions.
Other improvements:
- Throw meaningful errors when syntax is wrong. Replacing the prior
behavior of silently ignoring such issues.
- Remove `I` prefix from related interfaces to align with newer code
conventions.
- Add more unit tests for `with` expression.
- Improve documentation for templating.
- `ExpressionRegexBuilder`:
- Use words `capture` and `match` correctly.
- Fix minor issues revealed by new and improved tests:
- Change regex for matching anything except surrounding
whitespaces. The new regex ensures that it works even without
having any preceeding text.
- Change regex for capturing pipelines. The old regex was only
matching (non-greedy) first character of the pipeline in tests,
new regex matches the full pipeline.
- `ExpressionRegexBuilder.spec.ts`:
- Ensure consistent way to define `describe` and `it` blocks.
- Replace `expectRegex` tests, regex expectations test internal
behavior of the class, not the external.
- Simplified tests by eliminating the need for UUID suffixes/prefixes.
This commit ensures the script functions as expected, even when invoked
from unexpected environments.
Using `setlocal` initializes a distinct environment for privacy.sexy.
It's strategically placed after the admin privilege check to avoid
unnecessary setup in case of a relaunch. The script concludes with
`endlocal` right before the exit, maintaining a clean environment
throughout its execution and ensuring no unintentional global
environment modifications.
Changes:
- Enhance script's environment robustness.
- Add descriptive comments for script start/end sequences.
This commit addresses the issue of unwanted applications being
reinstalled during a Windows update. By adding a specific registry
entry, this commit ensures that Windows apps, once removed, do not
return with subsequent updates.
This change ensures more control over the applications present on a
Windows system, particularly after an update, enhancing user experience
and systeam cleanliness.
This commit improves the security, reliability, and robustness of
directory cleanup operations on Windows.
The focus is shifted from deleting entire directories to purging their
contents, addressing potential unintended side effects. Previously,
numerous directories were removed, which could destabilize system
behavior.
This improvement has crucial security implications. The prior approach
involved changing ownership and assigning permissions to the directory
itself, leading to an altered and potentially less secure OS security
posture.
Directory removal improvements include:
- Output user-friendly messages.
- Improved ownership and permission handling for file deletion.
- Explicit shared functions for enhanced reliability/security.
- Centralized way to delete glob (wildcard) patterns in Windows.
Notable script improvements:
- 'Clear Steam dumps, logs, and traces':
- Convert the script to a category to provide more granularity.
- Improve cache cleaning, ensuring the entire cache directory is
cleared, not just the log files.
- 'Clear "Temporary Internet Files" (browser cache)':
- Add more documentation.
- Grant necessary permissions to folders, fixing errors due to
lack of permissions before.
- 'Clear Windows Update Medic Service logs':
- Remove redundant permission grants, as they are unnecessary in
recent Windows versions.
- 'Clear Server-initiated Healing Events system logs',
'Clear Windows Update events logs':
- Merge due to identical functionalities.
- Add more documentation.
- 'Clear Defender scan (protection) history':
- Remove the execution with `TrustedInstallerPrivileges`, uniformly
using `grantPermissions` as with other scripts. This addresses the
false-positive alerts from Microsoft Defender, as discussed in #264.
- 'Clear "Temporary Internet Files" (browser cache)':
- Retain `INetCache` and `Temporary Internet Files` directories,
purging only their contents. This approach aims to resolve the issue
mentioned in #145, where the absence of these folders could prevent
Microsoft Office applications from launching.
This commit fixes the issue where the Microsoft Advertising app fails to
be removed using the standard script. The problem is due to Microsoft
Advertising SDK (`Microsoft.Advertising.Xaml`) acting as a framework
package. Such packages are automatically installed when a specific
application requires them, and they cannot be individually removed if
there are applications that depend on them. The only way to effectively
remove this library is by uninstalling the dependent applications.
Key findings:
- On Windows 11 22H2, the issue does not arise as the package does not
exist.
- On Windows 10 22H2, the user is prompted to delete dependent
applications, like MSN Weather and Mail And Calendar apps. Once these
apps are removed, the Microsoft Advertising app is automatically
removed.
Given the nuances and potential for confusion, this script is removed.
This means that the app will no longer be removed directly but will be
handled as part of the removal of its dependencies.
Optimize the tree view rendering during searches by enhancing the render
queue ordering. This update changes the rendering order to prioritize
visible nodes, leading to faster appearance of these nodes during
searches. The ordering logic now ignores the depth in the hierarchy and
instead focused on the node order. The collapsed check for the node
itself is removed, ensuring that visible collapsed parents are first
while their invisible children are rendered later.
This commit improves soft deletion of system apps. Before if the package
was missing, it failed to recover or delete system apps. Now, it works
even though if `Get-AppxPackage` returns null (i.e. package is
non-existing), so it can be executed even after a hard delete. This
allows safely introducing hard-delete of system apps (as discussed in
#260) with still keeping a robust soft-delete as complement.
Before, the script was dependent on `Get-AppxPackage.InstallLocation`,
however a system app can only be located in one of these folders:
- C:\Windows\SystemApps\{PackageFamilyName}
- C:\Windows\{ShortAppName}
To ensure resilience, this commit adjust the script to rename the files
within these directories if Get-AppxPackage fails, this provides a
fallback.
- Add documentation about folders.
- Add more user-friendly logging.
- Continue uninstallation if single folder fails (remove throw).
- Continue uninstallation if renaming single file fails.
- Add handling of `Metadata` folder as suggested in #73.
- Use instruction format such as "do this, do that" to provide clear,
direct instructions. This format minimize confusion and is easy to
follow. They are specific and leave no room for interpretation,
stating precisely what needs to be done without ambiguity.
- Fix typos and grammar issues.
- Improve consistency in script and category names.
- Revise sentences for more natural English language flow.
- Change brand name casing to match official branding.
- Change title case (all words start capitalized) to sentence case.
- Prioritize consistency over variations.
- Add minor documentation to explain scripts where the names are not
clear.
- Add naming guidelines.
This commit prepares for #260, aiming for a hard delete of system apps,
and necessitating a more reliable app reversion method.

- "Duolingo" to "Duolingo - Language Lessons".
- "Photoshop Express" to "Adobe Photoshop Express".
- "Spotify" to "Spotify - Music and Podcasts".
- "Windows Alarms and Clock" to "Windows Clock".
- "OOBE Network Captive Port" to "OOBE Network Captive Portal".
- "Secure Assessment Browser app (breaks Microsoft Intune/Graph)" to
"Take a Test app".
- "Windows 10 Family Safety / Parental Controls" > "Microsoft Family
Safety / Parental control".
- "People / People Bar App on taskbar (People Experience Host)" > "My
People"
- "MSN News" > "Microsoft News"
- "Minecraft for Windows 10" > "Minecraft for Windows"
- "Snip & Sketch" > "Snipping Tool"

maintainability and readability.
- Add user-friendly output messages.
- Improve script logic to avoid unnecessary service start/stop when the
file doesn't exist.
The commit adds a new a UI component that's enabled in development mode.
This component, initially, provides a button that wen clicked, logs all
the script and category names to the console. It helps revising names
used throughout the application.
By having this component in a conditionally rendered component, it's
excluded from the production builds.
- Move removal of `SecHealthUI` app to "Privacy over security" category.
- Emphasize disruptive behavior in the script name.
- Add comprehensive documentation
- Add script to remove Edge shortcuts upon uninstallation.
- Unify OneDrive shortcut removal logic with Edge's, introducing revert
feature to the OneDrive removal script.
- Add more extensive documentation.
- Rename "Delete OneDrive shortcuts" to "Remove OneDrive shortcuts" to
have consistent naming.
This commit introduces scripts for cleaning up file and URL associations
related to Microsoft Edge, enhancing the uninstallation process. The
changes adress the issues detailed in #64, improving system reliability,
integrity and security by preventing lingering associations.
Changes include:
- Introduce scripts to clear Edge browser file and URL associations.
- Provide extensive documentation for related scripts.
- Ensure thorough cleanup of URL, file, OpenWith menu, and toast
associations.
- Recommend removing Microsoft Edge (Legacy) Dev Tools Client app on
Strict to align with other Edge legacy removal recommendations.
- Replace obsolete "Firefox First party isolation" with "Firefox state
partitioning".
- Add comprehensive documentation for the new scripts.
- Introduce enabling dynamic First-Party Isolation (dFPI)
- Disable deprecated First-Party Isolation (FPI) to avoid conflicts with
dFPI.
- Add script to enable Firefox network partitioning to cover
functionality of older FPI script.
This commit enhances the robustness of setting VSCode configurations,
ensuring consistent and reliable operation even in edge cases, such as
when the settings file is empty. This commit also uniforms behavior of
Linux and Windows modification of VSCode settings.
On Windows:
- Move parameters to on top of scripts to be able to easily test the
scripts using PowerShell without compiling.
- Add a check to exit the script with an error message if the attempt to
parse the JSON content fails.
- Omit the `OutString` cmdlet from the pipeline in the script for
converting JSON file content to a PowerShell object. `Out-String` is
unnecessary in this context because `Get-Content` already outputs the
file content as a string array, which `ConvertFrom-Json` effectively.
Additionally, using `Out-String` could potentially introduce issues by
concatenating file content into a single string, causing
`ConvertFrom-Json` to fail when processing pretty-printed JSON. By
removing `Out-String`, the script is streamlined and potential errors
are avoided.
- Add logic to handle empty settings file. Add an additional check for
empty settings file, if the file is empty, the script writes a default
empty JSON object (`{}`) to the file. The operation is logged to
ensure transparency, notifying the user of the action taken. This
change removes fails due to empty setting files.
- When reverting, do not fail if the setting file is missing because it
means that default settings are already in-place.
- When reverting, show informative message if the key does not exist or
does not have the value set by privacy.sexy and do not take any
further action.
- If the desired value is already set, show a message for it and skip
updating the setting file.
On Linux:
- Handles empty `settings.json` similarly to Windows.
- Add more user friendly error if JSON file cannot be parsed.
This commit improve cleanup of temporary directories on Windows,
addressing issues #176 and #89.
Changes include:
- Fix side-effects caused by this script by clearing the contents of
directories rather than deleting the directories themselves.
- Add the removal of Prefetch directory contents, which stores temporary
files and can enhance privacy and free up disk space when cleared.
- Remove the command `del /f /q %localappdata%\Temp\*` due to its
redundancy.
- Improve the granularity and documentation of cleanup scripts, and
moving the `Clear temporary Windows files` category up in the hierarchy
for better structure and clarity.

The tree view rendering performance is optimized by improving the node
render queue ordering. The node rendering order is modified based on the
expansion state and the depth in the hierarchy, leading to faster
rendering of visible nodes. This optimization is applied when the tree
nodes are not expanded to improve the rendering speed.
This new ordering ensures that nodes are rendered more efficiently,
prioritizing nodes that are collapsed and are at a higher level in the
hierarchy.
This commit fixes an issue where the check state of categories was lost
when toggling between card and tree views. This is solved by immediately
emitting node state changes for all nodes. This ensures consistent view
transitions without any loss of node state information.
Furthermore, this commit includes added unit tests for the modified code
sections.
- Modify script to run as `TrustedInstaller`, resolving access right
problems discussed in #246.
- Change script name for better alignment with its functionality.
- Improve script description for clarity and detailed documentation.
- Add non-intrusive way to disable delivery optimization. This new
script do not introduce side-effects caused by disabling Delivery
Optimization service.
- Recomend delivery optimization service (`DoSvc`) only on Strict
mode, removing it from Standard recommendation.
- Categorize delivery optimization disabling under one category.
- Move disabling delivery optimization to "Disable OS collection" >
"Disable Windows Update data collection".
- Add more documentation.
- Fix script failing when multiple installations of Edge is found.
- Fix Edge not being able to be uninstalled due in newer Edge versions.
- Add documentation
- Add missing revert script
- Introduce a new UI component for tooltips.
- Fix tooltip arrow misalignment issues in code download/execution
instructions dialogs.
Reasons for dropping `v-tooltip` dependency:
- Lack of support for Vue 3.0, which blocks migration to Vue 3.0 (see
#230).
- Inability to render HTML content that's required for privacy.sexy.
- Inefficient, adding an extra 162.48 KB to the production bundle for
web distribution (tested using `npm run build -- --mode production`).
Advantages of adopting `floating-ui` (Floating UI):
- Compatibility across multiple Vue versions including 2.0, 2.7, and 3.0.
- Reduced boilerplate resulting in cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Efficient position recalculations without reinventing the wheel.
This commit adds missing vertical margin paragraphs that appear after
lists. It also changes vertical margin gap to match the font size along
with refactoring that makes paragraph gap modification easier to
understand.
This commit fixes compiler bug where it fails when optional values are
compiled into absent values in nested calls.
- Throw exception with more context for easier future debugging.
- Add better validation of argument values for nested calls.
- Refactor `FunctionCallCompiler` for better clarity and modularize it
to make it more maintainable and testable.
- Refactor related interface to not have `I` prefix, and
function/variable names for better clarity.
Context:
Discovered this issue while attempting to call
`RunInlineCodeAsTrustedInstaller` which in turn invokes `RunPowerShell`
for issue #246. This led to the realization that despite parameters
flagged as optional, the nested argument compilation didn't support
them.
- Add script to disable `WaaSMedicSvc` service (#252)
- Refine script granularity for more precise control.
- Introduce detailed documentation for the category and associated
scripts.
- Fix `ScheduledInstallTime` being set to `3` which schedules updates to
install at 3 AM.
- Fix `ScheduledInstallDay` is being set to `0` which schedules daily
update installation.
- Fix `NoAutoUpdate` being set to `0` (enable) instead of `1` (disable).
- Add disabling of missing `wuauserv` service.
- Add parent category for disabling Windows update services for better
organization.
- Move disabling Windows Spotlight from Standard to Strict
recommendation due to unexpected behavior for some users (#65).
- Enhance documentation.
- Correct revert code to ensure return to the default OS state.
Key highlights:
- Written from scratch to cater specifically to privacy.sexy's
needs and requirements.
- The visual look mimics the previous component with minimal changes,
but its internal code is completely rewritten.
- Lays groundwork for future functionalities like the "expand all"
button a flat view mode as discussed in #158.
- Facilitates the transition to Vue 3 by omitting the Vue 2.0 dependent
`liquour-tree` as part of #230.
Improvements and features:
- Caching for quicker node queries.
- Gradual rendering of nodes that introduces a noticable boost in
performance, particularly during search/filtering.
- `TreeView` solely governs the check states of branch nodes.
Changes:
- Keyboard interactions now alter the background color to highlight the
focused item. Previously, it was changing the color of the text.
- Better state management with clear separation of concerns:
- `TreeView` exclusively manages indeterminate states.
- `TreeView` solely governs the check states of branch nodes.
- Introduce transaction pattern to update state in batches to minimize
amount of events handled.
- Improve keyboard focus, style background instead of foreground. Use
hover/touch color on keyboard focus.
- `SelectableTree` has been removed. Instead, `TreeView` is now directly
integrated with `ScriptsTree`.
- `ScriptsTree` has been refactored to incorporate hooks for clearer
code and separation of duties.
- Adopt Vue-idiomatic bindings instead of keeping a reference of the
tree component.
- Simplify and change filter event management.
- Abandon global styles in favor of class-scoped styles.
- Use global mixins with descriptive names to clarify indended
functionality.
This commit simplifies event handling, providing a unified and robust
way to handle event lifecycling. This way, it fixes events not being
unsubscribed when state is changed.
Introduce a new function in `EventSubscriptionCollection` to remove
existing events and adding new events. This provides an easier to use
API, which leads to code that's easier to understand. It also prevents
potential bugs that may occur due to forgetting to call both functions.
It fixes `TheScriptsMenu` not unregistering events on state change.
Other improvements include:
- Include a getter to get total amount of registered subcriptions.
This helps in unit testing.
- Have nullish checks to prevent potential errors further down the
execution.
- Use array instead of rest parameters to increase readability and
simplify tests.
Ensure `SliderHandler` stops resizes on unmount, unsubscribing from all
events and resetting state to default.
Update `injectionKeys` to do imports as types to avoid circular
dependencies. Simplify importing `injectionKeys` to enable and strict
typings for iterating injection keys.
Add tests covering new behavior.
Test improvements:
- Capture titles for all macOS windows, not just the frontmost.
- Incorporate missing application log files.
- Improve log clarity with enriched context.
- Improve application termination on macOS by reducing grace period.
- Ensure complete application termination on macOS.
- Validate Vue application loading through an initial log.
- Support ignoring environment-specific `stderr` errors.
- Do not fail the test if working directory cannot be deleted.
- Use retry pattern when installing dependencies due to network errors.
Refactorings:
- Migrate the test code to TypeScript.
- Replace deprecated `rmdir` with `rm` for error-resistant directory
removal.
- Improve sanity checking by shifting from App.vue to Vue bootstrapper.
- Centralize environment variable management with `EnvironmentVariables`
construct.
- Rename infrastructure/Environment to RuntimeEnvironment for clarity.
- Isolate WindowVariables and SystemOperations from RuntimeEnvironment.
- Inject logging via preloader.
- Correct mislabeled RuntimeSanity tests.
Configuration:
- Introduce `npm run check:desktop` for simplified execution.
- Omit `console.log` override due to `nodeIntegration` restrictions and
reveal logging functionality using context-bridging.
Manage Firefox preferences through `user.js` instead of `prefs.js`.
Because of Mozilla's recommendation against direct `prefs.js` edits to
avoid potential profile corruption. Instead, the `user.js` file, if
present, overrides the settings in `prefs.js` at application startup.
Change AddFirefoxPrefs function to update `user.js` and manage
creation/deletion of this file:
1. Handle file creation if `user.js` does not exist.
2. Deletes file if `user.js` becomes empty after reverting settings.
Other changes:
- Improve log messages
- Minimal refactorings
Enable `contextIsolation` in Electron to securely expose a limited set
of Node.js APIs to the renderer process. It:
1. Isolates renderer and main process contexts. It ensures that the
powerful main process functions aren't directly accessible from
renderer process(es), adding a security boundary.
2. Mitigates remote exploitation risks. By isolating contexts, potential
malicious code injections in the renderer can't directly reach and
compromise the main process.
3. Reduces attack surface.
4. Protect against prototype pollution: It prevents tampering of
JavaScript object prototypes in one context from affecting another
context, improving app reliability and security.
Supporting changes include:
- Extract environment and system operations classes to the infrastructure
layer. This removes node dependencies from core domain and application
code.
- Introduce `ISystemOperations` to encapsulate OS interactions. Use it
from `CodeRunner` to isolate node API usage.
- Add a preloader script to inject validated environment variables into
renderer context. This keeps Electron integration details
encapsulated.
- Add new sanity check to fail fast on issues with preloader injected
variables.
- Improve test coverage of runtime sanity checks and environment
components. Move validation logic into separate classes for Single
Responsibility.
- Improve absent value test case generation.
- Fix a bug (introduced in 1b9be8fe) preventing the tree view from being
visible during a search.
- Fix a minor bug where the scripts view does not render based on the
initial filter.
- Add Vue component tests for `TheScriptView` to prevent regressions.
- Refactor `isSearching` in `TheScriptView` to simplify its logic.
- Switch from deprecated Vue CLI plugin to `electron-vite` (see
nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#1982)
- Update main/preload scripts to use `index.cjs` filenames to support
`"type": "module"`, resolving crash issue (#233). This crash was
related to Electron not supporting ESM (see electron/asar#249,
electron/electron#21457).
- This commit completes migration to Vite from Vue CLI (#230).
Structure changes:
- Introduce separate folders for Electron's main and preload processes.
- Move TypeHelpers to `src/` to mark tit as accessible by the rest of
the code.
Config changes:
- Make `vite.config.ts` reusable by Electron configuration.
- On electron-builder, use `--publish` flag instead of `-p` for clarity.
Tests:
- Add log for preload script loading verification.
- Implement runtime environment sanity checks.
- Enhance logging in `check-desktop-runtime-errors`.
