HUD base directory lost on reboot ZAP v2.10.0 on Kali 2021.1 about zap-hud HOT 12 OPEN

Working like a charm all good now Thanks @psiinon so it was missing directory under HUD options in Kali.

All good now.

from zap-hud.

Ok, the key line here is "No such file /target/injectionHtml.html"
If that files not available then the HUD will fail.
@faisalusuf - what value do you have in "Options / HUD / Base Directory" ?
Does that directory exist and if so does it have a subdirectory called "target" which contains "injectionHtml.html"?

Hi There,

Do excuse me for a delayed response. Please see the snapshot. The base directory parameter is empty. Strange though.

from zap-hud.

That could be the problem. Try setting it to the ZAP default dir followed by /hud
The default dir will depend on your OS: https://www.zaproxy.org/faq/what-is-the-default-directory-that-zap-uses/
For Kali I guess it will be ~/.ZAP/hud but double check the directory exists, and expand the ~ in the dialog.
We should probably correct that field if its empty but it doesnt like we do right now.

Tried but failed, yes directory exist along with required file.

from zap-hud.

OK the path is defined like below, the HUD tried to load start screen shown but tools not loaded properly.

from zap-hud.

You need to replace ~ with the full path, ZAP wont expand that for you.

from zap-hud.

Oh, you did that :/

from zap-hud.

Any other zap.log or browser console errors?

from zap-hud.

Oh okay so you launched a browser and tried to browse something that wasn't accessible. HUD will only display properly if you actual manage to load some content. It doesn't display on about:blank, etc.

Yes realized my VM network went down trying to reproduce the problem after adding the base directory

from zap-hud.

Apparently the setting gets lost when Kali reboots, so reopenning and transfering...
