loading a local file (file:///) using polymer will fail to load properly #260
Description
Activity
This is a Chrome default security setting: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=37586. You can override with the
--allow-file-access-from-filesflag.From a user of UI widgets perspective, when I used bootstrap, I didn't have that kind of issues.
It would be great if Polymer would match the same kind of "usability".There's nothing we can do about this case until HTMLImports are native. Even then, I'm not sure that they would allow file:// access.
If native HTMLImports solves this issue, that's probably fine.
To reproduce:
Once you checked out polymer-all, try to load an example from the disk.
By loading file://localhost/.../polymer-all/polymer-ui-elements/polymer-ui-toolbar/index.html in Chrome, I get the following console error:
Workaround:
You have to set up a web server to try your code.
