Can someone confirm/deny that this problem may be caused because this value:

https://github.com/jbalogh/zamboni/blob/master/settings.py#L704

is not UPLOADS_PATH + "/packager"?

This seems like it could be the root of the problem.

is there any info in the logs?  if not, maybe we need some more logging to find out what the UI is waiting on.

Comment 3

[Matt Basta [:basta]]

I couldn't find any, but that's probably because I'm just a noob. The interface waits until the file (GUID + ".xpi") exists in the PACKAGER_PATH directory, but if the tmp folder isn't shared with the celery box that runs the tasks, it will end up in a tmp directory somewhere else and never be found on the front end.

That would also explain why I can't reproduce it locally, since my tmp folder is the same for the celery and web instances.

PACKAGER_PATH ¶ 	'/data/amo_python/www/preview/zamboni/tmp/packager'

This completes for me with:


Use the download link below to save a copy of your extension's compressed source. To install as an extension in Firefox or another compatible application, simply rename the .zip extension to .xpi.
Download ZIP8kb
What do I do next?

Now that you've got an extension skeleton, the fun part begins: hacking on the extension to make it do what you want. If you need some help, check out our Getting Started page for the basics, or visit the How-to Library for tutorials and documentation.
