chrome.notifications.create is not working inside callback function - google-chrome-extension

popup.js
function start(){
let options = {
type: "basic",
title: "Primary Title",
message: "Primary message to display",
iconUrl: "/icon_128.png"
}
chrome.notifications.create(options);
}
// When the button is clicked, inject function will execute on current page
startButton.addEventListener("click", async () => {
let [tab] = await chrome.tabs.query({ active: true, currentWindow: true });
chrome.scripting.executeScript({
target: { tabId: tab.id },
function: start,
});
});
manifest.json
{
"name": "Meet Auto Exit Bot",
"description": "Exits meet based on number of people present.",
"version": "1.0",
"manifest_version": 3,
"icons": {
"128": "icon_128.png"

},
"background": {
"service_worker": "background.js"
},
"permissions": [
"storage",
"activeTab",
"scripting",
"notifications"
]
}
I am developing a chrome in which I am using chrome notifications to notify users. But I am not able to figure out why chrome.notifications.create is not working inside my start() function. It works when using outside the callback function.

Chrome Extension: chrome.tabs.executeScript doesn't puts the text content into the destination field

What my code basically should perform:
Create a custom menu
When a text is selected on any webpage, right click and click on the new context menu
Opens a new tab (a specific url), wait till it fully loads, than puts the previously selected text into a textarea (there is only one on that page) and clicks ok button, to summarize the selected text
My background.js:
chrome.contextMenus.create({
id: "summarize",
title: "Summarize",
contexts: ["selection"]
});
chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(function (info, tab) {
if (info.menuItemId === "summarize") {
chrome.tabs.create({
url: "https://example.com/form"
}, function (tab) {
chrome.scripting.executeScript({
target: {
tabId: tab.id
},
files: ['action.js'],
});
});
}
});
My manifest.json:
{
"manifest_version": 3,
"name": "Quick Actions",
"description": "Quick Actions",
"version": "1.4.9",
"permissions": [
"activeTab",
"contextMenus",
"unlimitedStorage",
"<all_urls>"
],
"background": {
"service_worker": "background.js"
},
"browser_action": {
"default_title": "Summarize",
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"icons": {
"16": "icon16.png",
"48": "icon48.png",
"128": "icon128.png"
},
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon16.png"
}
}
The problem:
When the new tab opens, the code doesn't run at all.
I tried to debug it, but even the console.log() part didn't work. I also tried with onLoad, same result. It seems that nothing triggered on the new page.

trying to execute JS code on a tab but getting executeScript is undefined [duplicate]

Why is this function from Chrome not working? I'm trying this example:
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/content_scripts/#programmatic.
I'm developing an extension for chrome and sending a message from popup.js to service worker background.js and get error in executeScript.
popup.js
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({ from: "newScript"});
manifest.json
{
"manifest_version": 3,
"name": "TennisBet",
"version": "1.0",
"description": "Extrension for bet on tennis.",
"action": {
"default_icon": {
"256": "images/tennis256.png",
"128": "images/tennis128.png",
"64": "images/tennis64.png",
"32": "images/tennis32.png",
"24": "images/tennis24.png",
"16": "images/tennis16.png"
},
"default_popup": "popup/popup.html"
},
"background": {
"service_worker": "background-wrapper.js"
},
"host_permissions": ["*://*/*"],
"permissions": [
"tabs",
"alarms",
"activeTab",
"declarativeContent",
"storage"
]
}
background.js
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function(request, sender, sendResponse) {
switch(request.from){
case "error":
console.log(request.message);
break;
case "checkTabs":
tabsWorker();
break;
case "newScript":
chrome.scripting.executeScript({ // Error in event handler: TypeError: Cannot read property 'executeScript' of undefined
file: "content_scripts/cscript.js"
});
break;
default:
console.log("Message listener status active");
break;
}
});
The executeScript method in ManifestV3 has changed and is now in chrome.scripting API:
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/scripting/
Add this line in manifest.json:
"permissions": ["scripting"]
background.js
chrome.scripting.executeScript({
target: {tabId: id, allFrames: true},
files: ['content_scripts/cscript.js'],
});

Notifications in Chrome Extension not working

I am working on a Chrome extension, but cannot get notifications working. the workflow is the user right clicks on a link, selects "Send Link" from the extension's context menu, then a confirmation should display as a notification.
I have followed the example posted in another question, but it does not work. No notification is shown, nothing is logged in the console and the chrome.runtime.lastError is always "undefined". It's like the whole thing is just ignored. This is on Windows 10. What am I doing wrong?
script.js
function getlink(info,tab) {
var opt = {
iconUrl: "http://www.google.com/favicon.ico",
type: 'list',
title: 'Primary Title',
message: 'Primary message to display',
priority: 1,
items: [{ title: 'Item1', message: 'This is item 1.'},
{ title: 'Item2', message: 'This is item 2.'},
{ title: 'Item3', message: 'This is item 3.'}]
};
chrome.notifications.create('notify1', opt, function() { console.log('created!'); });
alert(chrome.runtime.lastError); //always undefined
}
chrome.contextMenus.create({
title: "Send link",
contexts:["link"],
onclick: getlink
});
manifest.json

Chrome and closing a specific tab URL

I need to close a specific tab in Google Chrome.
The behaviour is that an extension open up URL after she loaded and this can't be avoid.
This doesn't work :
#manifest.json
{
"name": "Close Tab Helpx Adobe",
"description": "Close the url http://www.example.com",
"version": "0.1",
"manifest_version": 2,
"app": {
"background": {
"scripts": ["background.js"],
"persistent": false
}
},
"icons": {
"16": "close-tab-helpx-adobe-16.png",
"128": "close-tab-helpx-adobe-128.png"
},
"permissions": [
"tabs"
]
}
#background.js
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tab) {
if(tab.url=="http://www.example.com") {
chrome.tabs.remove(tab)
}
});
In developper mode, i can see Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'onUpdated' of undefined
As you can see, i'm a beginner.
Do you know how to achieve this ?
EDIT:
I also tried :
#background.js
chrome.tabs.onActivated.addListener(function(activeInfo) {
chrome.tabs.get(activeInfo.tabId, function(tab){
if(tab.url=="http://www.example.com") {
chrome.tabs.remove(tab);
}
});
});
chrome.tabs.getCurrent(function(tab){
if(tab.url=="http://www.example.com") {
chrome.tabs.remove(tab);
}
});
chrome.tabs.query({currentWindow: true, active: true}, function(tabs){
if(tabs[0].url=="http://www.example.com") {
chrome.tabs.remove(tabs[0]);
}
});
The error is the same, only the property name change onActivated, getcurrent or query
Thanks to wOxxOm (and his patience), here is a code which do the job :
#manifest.json
{
"name": "Close Tab Helpx Adobe",
"description": "Close the url http://www.example.com",
"version": "0.1",
"manifest_version": 2,
"background": {
"scripts": ["background.js"],
"persistent": false
},
"icons": {
"16": "close-tab-helpx-adobe-16.png",
"128": "close-tab-helpx-adobe-128.png"
},
"permissions": [
"tabs"
]
}
#background.js
chrome.tabs.onCreated.addListener(function(tab) {
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
if(tab.url=="http://www.example.com") {
chrome.tabs.remove(tab.id);
}
});
});
So, i have my answer.
To go further ...
Haibara Ai says "Please be aware chrome.tabs.onUpdated will also fired for iframes, if a page contains many iframes, each completed iframe will trigger the event though you have checked : https://stackoverflow.com/a/36818991/2241806"

Chrome extension message passing from popup to content

I'm trying to create a chrome extension to learn front-end technologies, and got stuck on message passing between popup and content script.
The following is what I'm trying to do:
1. Let background page hold a global var.
2. When user clicking a button on the popup html, the global var is modified. Meanwhile, the popup sends the global var to the content scripts for all of the tabs.
In the background.js I have:
var settings = {
version: 1,
enabled: false
};
popup.js:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#switcher").click(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
var bg = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage();
var settings = bg.settings;
settings.enabled = !settings.enabled;
// send message to the content for all the tabs
chrome.tabs.query({active: true}, function (tabs) {
for (var i = 0; i < tabs.length; ++i) {
console.log("sending message to tab " + i);
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(tabs[i].id, {enabled: settings.enabled}, function(response) {
console.log(response);
});
}
});
});
});
Finally, the content.js:
$(document).ready(function(){
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(
function (request, sender, sendResponse) {
console.log("request is: " + request.enabled);
sendResponse("get it");
}
);
});
I tried to debug it, but I found the 'sendMessage' function never got returned back.. and the 'onMessage' never got triggered. Did I miss something?
My manifest file:
{
"name": "__MSG_appName__",
"version": "0.0.1",
"manifest_version": 2,
"description": "__MSG_appDescription__",
"icons": {
"16": "images/icon-16.png",
"128": "images/icon-128.png"
},
"default_locale": "en",
"permissions": [
"contextMenus", "storage", "tabs"
],
"background": {
"scripts": [
"scripts/background.js"
],
"persistent": true
},
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": {
"19": "images/icon-19.png",
"38": "images/icon-38.png"
},
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"run_at":"document_start",
"all_frames":true,
"matches": ["*://*/*"],
"js": ["bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js", "scripts/content.js"]
}
],
"web_accessible_resources": ["bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.map"]
}
You should be using chrome.tabs.sendMessage instead of chrome.runtime.sendMessage to send messages to content scripts in tabs.
