Recipe Client
Client to download and run recipes from Normandy Recipe Server.
Development
Currently this add-on is only designed to run in the context of a system add-on. That means you need a full checkout of mozilla-central, and must build Firefox. This will change soon.
To install requirements:
$ npm install
To build the add-on into mozilla-central
$ ./bin/update-mozilla-central.sh path/to/mozilla-central
This will populate browser/extensions/shield-recipe-client.
Preferences
The preference extensions.shield-recipe-client.api_url is read to contact a
recipe server. The default is the production instance. It can be changed for
local development or testing. It must be a HTTPS url.
The easiest way to run a Normandy server locally is using compose. This uses a development mode key for signing, which has a root hash of
4C:35:B1:C3:E3:12:D9:55:E7:78:ED:D0:A7:E7:8A:38:83:04:EF:01:BF:FA:03:29:B2:46:9F:3C:C5:EC:36:04
Set the pref security.content.signature.root_hash to this value to mark the
key used by the normandy-compose server as trusted.
