| Hello, Arantius.
| | If I can answer your question, I'll do it there. |
| I am using your compiler to port one of my userscripts into a firefox extension. The script has got some features that are useful while it's still a script (e.g.: checking for new versions), but completely useless - or, worse, even dangerous - if running as a FF extension. | |
| Is there a way to detect whether the script is running thanks to the script-compiler.js or not? I was thinking about a variable, maybe something simple like MOUNTED = True on loading of the script and False on unloading, but how to achieve that? Or do you have any better suggestion?
| |
| Thanks a lot, and keep on doing your great job :)

| : There isn't a good way now. The easiest would be to test for the presence of an API newer than the compiler, e.g. [[GM_listValues]]. If that function exists, it's not the compiler, because the compiler doesn't provide it. [[User:Arantius|Arantius]] 22:00, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

| ::I've apparently found a workaroud: in Load and onUnLoad events on script-compiler.js, I toggle a boolean preference (''script-compiler_active''), that I then read from inside the script; it seems to be working.

Please do not use this wiki as a communication channel.
I'm on both of the mailing lists (see getting help), as well as the rest of an entire community that can help you out.
If I can answer your question, I'll do it there.
