Chrome version: 3.0.182.3 (17055)
Works fine for me. Using serveral userscripts from userscripts.org, such as Any 
Remover, Youtube Downloader, Greased Lightbox and more.

Please verify that the issue does not exist in 3.0.184.0 (Developer Build 17539).
.

cerados, what platform are you on? I see the same problem on trunk (3.x) builds on
Linux. Maybe only broken on this platform?

Platform is Windows Vista SP1.

Does not work for me on XP SP3
Google Chrome	3.0.183.1 (Official Build 17570)

" --enable-user-scripts" doesn't work

System: xp sp2
Chromium: 3.0.184.0

Same problem here, started with 3.0.183.1 update.

Win XP SP3
3.0.183.1

" --enable-user-scripts" doesn't work

At least Yahoo Mail now works... 2 steps forward / 1 step back

"content scripts" doesn't work either, for example, the sample code in your site 
"Subscribe in Google Reader" doesn't work.

Fix user scripts not getting initialized.

BUG=13290,13128
TEST=Add --enable-user-scripts to command line without --enable-extensions or --load-extension. Start Chrome, user scripts should work. Also run ui tests with --enable-extensions.

i am able to reproduce this problem on 3.0.189.0 (18456) on linux.

 Issue 13522  has been merged into this issue.

my user scripts are executing as of 3.0.190.0 (18673) on linux.

Somebody managed to break userscripts once again (tested with r18695)...

@sandshrew: What platform are you testing on?

Userscripts are broken again in the latest release for Windows.

I just upgraded to 3.0.189.0
Win XP SP2

This is getting pathetic.

@aa
Linux. Next time please "don't fix what ain't broken" or at least CAREFULLY test the 
changes before submitting.

Blech. Reopening.

I don't repro this on Windows, but several people have reported it now.

@sandshrew, thanks for the information.

FYI: I could repo it, and then I installed an extension, which magically made all my 
user-scripts work.  So I'd guess it's some sort of user-scripts don't work unless you 
have extensions installed bug.

@sandshrew,

"Next time please "don't fix what ain't broken" or at least CAREFULLY test the 
changes before submitting."

How about next time, please don't use unstable nightly builds if you can't stand bugs?

I think adding --enable-extensions (in addition to --enable-user-scripts) to Chrome's 
parameters is a work-around.

Hear hear @cerados!

@cerados
There are no stable builds for linux.

@igitur
This doesn't seem to help in linux.

Ok, thanks to the helpful information from cerados, I see the issue.

This was busted (again) @18397 and then fixed (again) @18661. The issue (again) was that 
UserScriptMaster is relying on ExtensionsService to tell it when to start, and we keep breaking the 
code that guarantees that will happen under all circumstances. In this case, it doesn't happen if 
the extensions node in the preferences file doesn't exist.

If you install at least one extension, the node will be created. Another way to create would be to 
add this entry under the root node of your Preferences file in <user data dir>/Preferences:

"extensions": {
  "settings": {
  }
},

This has already been fixed on trunk, but I'm leaving this bug open on myself to add more tests for 
this area.

Thank you AA.

Confirmed on my end that it works.  I had --enable-extensions already there when it 
was not working, but I did not have any extensions installed.

I added AniWeather extension just now and all of my user scripts have started working 
again.

@Sandshrew
I am with you.  Lately the builds seem more sloppy than before (eg, user scripts 2 
times, yahoo mail not working, etc...). This time however, I see why it would be 
unlikely to be discovered in a dev build before pushing out to users.  Yahoo Mail 
issue on the other hand should never have happened.  Too popular of a site to not 
check with a dev build.

Off-topic, but I'm afraid I'll have to agree that the builds seem to be getting more 
and more unstable even though I understand they're supposed to be. Chromium was more or 
less usable as my main browser a few months ago, but lately I'm finding an average of 
1-2 bugs every week, and waiting for ages before my bug reports get noticed, and even 
longer for the fix to arrive.

Minefield and WebKit nightlies seem rock-stable compared to the current state Chromium 
is in.

Thank you all for your attention to this issue.

extensions are still not working for me in 3.0.189.0 (Official Build 18569), with --
enable-user-scripts and --enable-extensions, even after adding the extensions node to 
my preferences file.

@hotaru.firefly: You need to add the settings child, too. If that doesn't work, please 
try installing one extension from the samples page and uninstalling it. This should 
kick things into the right state. Otherwise, just wait for the next build.

i had added the settings child when i added the extensions one, i copied and pasted it 
from your (aa@chromium's) comment.
installing an extension fixed it, thanks.

 Issue 14650  has been merged into this issue.

When I --enable-user-scripts and go to any page, the browser crashes.  I'm on windows 7 
with build 3.0.193.0 (20255)

webiest, what do you mean by "browser crashes"? is this the aw snap page reported in  
 Issue 16421  ?

Yes it is.  I get an aw snap page on every tab opened.

Since at least one version of 'user scripts not working' has been fixed, I'm going to 
close this. If it reoccurs, let's try and open new bugs to track particular causes.

User scripts are not woking in 4.0.249.78 (36714) build.
I tried different combinations:
chrome.exe
chrome.exe --enable-user-scripts
chrome.exe --enable-user-scripts --enable-extensions
Nothing works.
Previous stable release did not have any problems with user scripts.
How to fix this issue?
Thanks.

@sergei.polishchuk: User Scripts are now automatically converted into extensions. 
Simply drag the .user.js file into Chrome and it should install properly.

 Bug 22103  refers to this.
