Using a Chrome extension I need to inject a script into the page context in such a way that the injected script runs before any other javascript on the page.
I need to hijack all console
commands for a specific page so my extension can listen to the messages.
Currently I am catching some of the messages logged by the page but not all of them, specifically, all messages from web-directory-132a3f16cf1ea31e167fdf5294387073.js
are not being caught. After some digging I discovered that the web-directory-132a3f16cf1ea31e167fdf5294387073.js
is also hijacking console
but doing so before my script has a chance to.
As a visual, if I look at the network tab after loading the page, I see this:
My injected script is consoleInterceptor.js
. It correctly captures the output of the js files that are loaded here accept web-directory-132a3f16cf1ea31e167fdf5294387073.js
Inside of web-directory-132a3f16cf1ea31e167fdf5294387073.js
is some code something like this:
....
_originalLogger: t.default.Logger,
...
// do stuff with logging ....
this._originalLogger[e].apply(this._originalLogger, s),
It seems to me that, web-directory-132a3f16cf1ea31e167fdf5294387073.js
is grabbing the standard console
functions and storing them internally before my script has had a chance to replace them with my own versions. So even though my script works, the web-directory-132a3f16cf1ea31e167fdf5294387073.js
still uses the original standard console functions it saved.
Note that web-directory-132a3f16cf1ea31e167fdf5294387073.js
is an ember application and I dont see any simple way to hook into that code to overwrite those functions too but Im open to that as a solution.
manifest.js
...
"web_accessible_resources": [
"js/ajaxInterceptor.js",
"js/consoleInterceptor.js"
],
"version" : "5.2",
"manifest_version": 2,
"permissions": [
"<all_urls>",
"tabs",
"activeTab",
"storage",
"webNavigation",
"unlimitedStorage",
"notifications",
"clipboardWrite",
"downloads",
"tabCapture",
"cookies",
"browsingData",
"webRequest",
"*://*/*",
"gcm",
"contextMenus",
"management"
],
"externally_connectable": {
"matches": ["*://apps.mypurecloud.com/*","*://*.cloudfront.net/*"]
},
...
background.js
var options = {url: [{hostContains: 'apps.mypurecloud.com'}]};
chrome.webNavigation.onCommitted.addListener(function(details) {
// first inject the chrome extension's id
chrome.tabs.executeScript(details.tabId, {
code: "var chromeExtensionId = " + JSON.stringify(chrome.runtime.id)
});
// then inject the script which will use the dynamically added extension id
// to talk to the extension
chrome.tabs.executeScript(details.tabId, {
file: 'js/injectConsoleInterceptor.js'
});
},
options
);
chrome.runtime.onMessageExternal.addListener(
function(msg, sender, sendResponse) {
if(msg.action === 'console_intercepted'){
_this.processConsoleMessage(sender, msg.details.method, msg.details.arguments);
}
});
injectConsoleInterceptor.js
var interceptorScript = document.createElement('script');
interceptorScript.src = chrome.extension.getURL('js/consoleInterceptor.js');
interceptorScript.onload = function(){this.remove();};
(document.head || document.documentElement).prepend(interceptorScript);
consoleInterceptor.js
if(!window.hasConsoleInterceptor){
window.hasConsoleInterceptor = true;
console.log('overriding console functions');
var originals ={};
var console = window.console;
if (console){
function interceptConsoleMethod(method){
originals[method] = console[method];
console[method] = function(){
// send the data to the extension
// chromeExtensionId should be injected into the page separately and before this script
var data = {
action: 'console_intercepted',
details: {
method: method,
arguments: arguments
}
};
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(chromeExtensionId, data);
originals[method].apply(console, arguments)
}
}
// an array of the methods we want to observe
var methods = ['assert', 'count', 'debug', 'dir', 'dirxml', 'error', 'group','groupCollapsed','groupEnd','info','log', 'profile', 'profileEnd','time','timeEnd','timeStamp','trace','warn','table'];
for (var i = 0; i < methods.length; i++){
interceptConsoleMethod(methods[i])
}
console.log('Successfully overridden console functions: '+methods.join(','));
}
}
What can I do to make consoleInterceptor.js
run before web-directory-132a3f16cf1ea31e167fdf5294387073.js
loads so that web-directory-132a3f16cf1ea31e167fdf5294387073.js
uses my modified console functions rather than the default browser console funcitons?

You can try this.
In manifest.json file:
"content_scripts": [ { "matches": ["http://*/*", "https://*/*"], "js": ["script/inject.js"], "run_at":"document_start" } ]
In inject.js:
var ss = document.createElement("script");
ss.innerHTML= "xxx";
document.documentElement.appendChild(ss);
