At ver 0.1.0, webextensions-desktop-nightly.json is included. since ver 1.0.0, that file is droped, because it is irrelevant.

• Thunderbird extension definition files for tern.
  • for completion
• Thunderbird WebExtension APIs
• all things are rough.
• this does not include any URL of online doc for Thunderbird extension (MDN does not support. comment)
• npm package provides definition-file.
  • distilled from comm-central and mozilla-central repositories.

I confirmed only with vim. install tern-for-vim and add to project's .tern-project file. This package include a definition-file.

{
  "libs": [
    "browser",
    "node_modules/tern-def-tbext/defs/tbext-nightly"
  ]
}

$ npm run build -- --mozilla-repo /path/to/mozilla --comm-repo /path/to/comm

This create only tbext-nightly.json definition-file.

Notice Since ver. 1.1.1, --mozilla-repo is necessary to include Firefox APIs.

(At 2019-04-11) You will see following error messages, but no problem.

In case of that you would like to use beta.

$ npm run build -- --mozilla-repo /path/to/mozilla-beta --comm-repo /path/to/comm-beta --channel beta

This create tbext-beta.json. --channel option only effects to filename. Using this option is for switching files specified within .tern-project. If you don't need to switch, there is no need for this option.
