This should work, but it doesn't appear to:

browser.compose.onBeforeSend.addListener((tab, details) =>
  browser.compose.addAttachment(tab.id, { file: new File(["foo bar"], "foobar.txt") })
)

I tested this by manually applying the patch, but it does not work. Also the workaround suggested in the topicbox thread does not work. Not in TB78 and also not in tip. This is the used background.js:

function listener (tab, details) {
  console.log(tab);
  console.log(details);
  let file = new File(["Some example text."], "test.txt");
  browser.compose.addAttachment(tab.id, { file });
  
  return {  details: {}  };
}

browser.compose.onBeforeSend.addListener(listener);

The attachment is added to the tab, I can see it, but it is not send.

See Also: → 1662018

browser.compose.addAttachment(tab.id, { file });

You didn't await this. The listener's returning immediately and sending continues.

Ouch. Making the listener an async function and awaiting addAttachmant indeed works. The patch than of course also works in tip and the attachment is added without the need to return an empty details obj.
