patata's Introduction

Patata

Get it? Because like the whole "tomato/tomato" debacle, but it's like "tomato/potato", but that's not even the correct misunderstanding, and now it's in italian, and "pomodoro/patata" is even less of a misunderstanding! Hilarious!

Installation

Grab the package.
Navigate to chrome://extensions Chrome.
Drag-and-drop the package into the window.

You might need to enable developer mode.

Breaking - Event page uses global variables instead of storage

What's wrong? The packaged timer does not work, but an unpackaged download does.
What's the cause? I believe the issue is the use of global variables, as opposed to the storage API. Google notes the following:

If you need to keep runtime state in memory throughout a browser session, use the storage API or IndexedDB. Since the event page does not stay loaded for long, you can no longer rely on global variables for runtime state.

Why did this happen? Since unpackaged works, and all development was done pre-packaging, there was little indication that it wouldn't work as a package.
How do we fix this? Should only require rewrites on the event page. maxTicks can be removed locally because it already exists in storage, but ticks and the sessionNr needs to be migrated over. Might require a more extensive rewrite of the ticks use, because calling the storage API every tick seems a bit excessive.
