loadExtensionSetting() does not see extension options any more

kyprizel | Last updated: Jan 24, 2017 05:24PM UTC

I was using callbacks.loadExtensionSetting() to load my extension settings from config file. In json it looked like: { "user_options":{ ... "extender":{ "extensions":[ { "errors":"console", "extension_file":"/path/to/my/ext/burp-XXXX-SNAPSHOT.jar", "extension_type":"java", "loaded":true, "name":"...", "output":"console", "initial_url": "https://kyprizel.net/" } ] } } } and I started burp with --config-file options. Starting from version 1.7.16 config-file does not see extension any more so I had to switch to --user-config-file. Now extension loaded but callbacks.loadExtensionSetting("initial_url") returns nil. What section is used for per-extension configs now?

Thanks for this report. We did make some changes to the way user settings are handled in 1.7.16, to support the new command line option. We’ll investigate whether this has broken the way that extensions’ custom settings are handled. We’ll let you know if we need any further information.
