- New sessions-window allow-list behavior isn’t covered by a unit test. Please add a test in
extensionEnablementService.test.tsthat creates an extension whose id is inSESSIONS_WINDOW_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONSand would otherwise beDisabledByEnvironment(e.g. hasmainor unsupported contributions), and assert it remains enabled whenisSessionsWindowis true.
// Allow-listed extensions are always enabled in the sessions window.
if (SESSIONS_WINDOW_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS.has(extension.identifier.id.toLowerCase())) {
return false;
}
