#7768 closed defect (fixed)

add_script & add_stylesheet don't support external scripts

Reported by: martin@… Owned by: Remy Blank
Priority: high Milestone: 1.0
Component: web frontend Version:
Severity: normal Keywords: add_script
Cc: ryano@… Branch:
Release Notes:

API only

API Changes:

trac.web.chrome: add_script() and add_stylesheet() now also accept absolute URLs [10027]

Internal Changes:

Description

Not sure if this was indented as a security feature, but:

The add_script from trac.web.chrome doesn't support external script URLs, i.e. one which start with 'http://'. At the moment the full URL is appended to the chrome path resulting in a dysfunctional script tag.

The same should be true for add_stylesheet.

If this is indented as a security feature, then be warned that it is easily overcome by just coping and changing the add_script source code, like I did in my GoogleMapMacro, where I have to load the external Google Map API JavaScript file.

Well, it's certainly not a "security feature", as you can always to whatever you want in plugins ;-)

Not really sure if this patch is correct or not - but adding it here for feedback/improvements.

… well, not quite good :) Your patch doesn't define href in the "absolute URL" case.

I have applied an improved version in [10027], together with updated unit tests that check the correct behavior.

Mark, I hope you don't mind if I give you some advice for you next patches:

  • Always run the unit tests and functional tests before posting your patch. This should catch most of the more obvious errors.
  • If possible, add one or more unit tests (or modify existing tests) to check for the correctness of your changes.
  • Always create your patches from the project root, so that full paths are recorded. This makes it simpler for the reviewer to apply them.

But most importantly: keep up the good work!
