Improve detection of Chrome channel variants #61

pimterry · 2019-11-15T18:44:38Z

Working towards a fix for #55, based on the comments there. This implements the suggested change, and improves the detection in general, especially for beta & dev channels.

Found 7 browsers in 25 ways within 116ms.

That said, while this is an improvement, I haven't reproduce the reported issues, so I can't confirm that the ChromeHTML key is the main culprit.

I did manage to hit issues on this test environment due to the default 'stable' assumption from find-update-clients though. That's definitely incorrect for a few cases here. My installed dev & beta versions for example have exactly the same ap value, but different channels. Notably my stable install does explicitly say stable here (x64-stable-statsdef_1), so I've changed this to an explicit check.

I'm a bit suspicious of the bitness check in find-update-clients too, since it defaults to 32, which would cause this reported issue. I can't reproduce a similar error myself here, but how would you feel about something like ap.has('x64') ? 64 : null instead? I'm assuming there's no explicit 32 bit value we can check for.

I can't reproduce a similar error myself here, but how would you feel about something like ap.has('x64') ? 64 : null instead? I'm assuming there's no explicit 32 bit value we can check for.

Let's remove that line altogether (L48):

win-detect-browsers/lib/chrome/find-update-clients.js

Line 48 in d45d938

bitness: ap.has('x64') ? 64 : 32,

We already have the arch property anyway, for all browsers.

lib/browsers.js

lib/chrome/find-progids.js

lib/chrome/find-update-clients.js

Breaking: remove 'bitness' from chrome metadata

pimterry · 2019-11-18T12:28:09Z

I've merged the change to drop bitness, and we're all good now I think.

Updated debug output for reference:
