I'm encountering a problem where Automatic1111(Stable Diffusion web UI) prevents me from installing extensions because of a conflicting command line flag.

The issue is that I can't identify which file contains this flag.

I have already opened and inspected nearly all relevant files, including webui-user.sh, webui.sh, and webui.bat in a text editor, but my efforts have been unsuccessful.

Here is a screenshot of the error message that appears when I try to check for updates in Automatic1111:

The only solution that worked for me was to manually start the Automatic1111 WebUI from the terminal using the command line flag:

--enable-insecure-extension-access

You can see this in the screenshot below:

I would like to resolve this issue permanently.

Command line flags

... In practice, this means that if you use command line flags such as --share or --listen to make the WebUI accessible from another computer, the installation of extensions will be blocked. returning the following error message:

extension access disabled because of command line flags However, in some cases, you may need to install extensions remotely. If so, you can bypass this restriction by using the command-line flag --enable-insecure-extension-access, which overrides the default behavior.

--enable-insecure-extension-access

Important: It is highly recommended NOT to use the --enable-insecure-extension-access during regular use. Only enable it when necessary, and disable it immediately once it is no longer required. ...

webui-user

The recommended way to specify environment variables is by editing webui-user.bat (Windows) and webui-user.sh (Linux):

set VARNAME=VALUE for Windows

export VARNAME="VALUE" for Linux

Set the flag permanently, this is not recommended!**

Try setting the flag permanently in your webui-user.sh and restart your web UI:

export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--enable-insecure-extension-access"
