i am facing an odd problem when i try to publish my chrome extension via the web store. Every time i upload the zip file i get this error:
An error has occurred: Can not contain the access permissions to the file.
I even tried to upload a zip file that contains only the manifest file but i am still having the same error.
Any idea ?
Thanks
Manifest file :
{
"name": "__MSG_plugin_name__",
"version": "0.0.0.1",
"manifest_version": 2,
"description": "__MSG_plugin_description__",
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "images/ST_19.png",
"default_title": "__MSG_plugin_title__",
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"icons":{
"16": "images/ST_16.png",
"48": "images/ST_48_1.png",
"128": "images/ST_128.png"
},
"default_locale": "en",
"permissions": [
"contextMenus",
"tabs", "http://*/*", "file:///*","https://*/*", "ftp://*/*"
],
"background": {
"persistent": false,
"scripts": ["scripts/jquery.min.js","scripts/utils.js", "scripts/menus.js","scripts/logic.js"]
}
}
So i isolated the thing: ""file:///*"" was wrong and since i want the extension to run on any opened url, i used "" as a permission.
Change in the manifest file is :
"permissions": [
"contextMenus",
"tabs", "<all_urls>"
]
Thanks everybody
Yes, ndongo is correct and Chrome is complaining that it does not have a domain or path (just like the other protocols).
The way you must write your URLs must be protocol://domain/path (note you can use * or ?)
So you can replace "file:///*" with "file:///*/*" or use "<all_urls>"

I've been learning how to make a Chrome extension and have been stuck on just adding an icon for a while now, I've copy pasted code that supposedly works but I keep getting this error:
Could not load icon 'icon16.png' specified in 'icons'.
Could not load manifest.
My code:
{
"manifest_version": 3,
"name": "extension",
"description": "test",
"version": "1.0",
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon48.png"
},
"icons": {
"16": "icon16.png",
"48": "icon48.png",
"128": "icon128.png"
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"js": [
"test.js"
],
"matches": [
"https://www.test.com/*"
]
}
]
}
I've triple checked that every image is in fact a PNG and is of the right size. I have a single directory with manifest.json, test.js, and all three images (as well as a.prettierrc file, although I doubt that has any impact).
If I remove the icons part of manifest.json the extension works perfectly.
The error about not being able to load the manifest is likely related to:
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon48.png"
},
which is from Manifest Version 2. The "browser_action" field should be changed to:
"action": {
"default_icon": "icon48.png"
},
For further reference see here: Action API unification
I have this piece of code in my manifest:
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png",
"default_popup": "popup.html",
"default_icon": {
"16": "images/16x16.png",
"48": "images/48x48.png",
"128": "images/128x128.png"
}
},
It was working fine until today and now I am getting a 'duplicate key' error.
I know there are two entries for default_icon -- one for the old way of declaring a single icon, and the new way for declaring for specific sizes -- however it was not causing an issue when uploading the new packages until now. Did something change?
If I remove the first declaration, what that cause any issues?
Update:
I'm now getting an error where I can upload the zip file now, but publishing fails with 'Internal Publish Error'. When I first upload the zip, I did get a warning 'Invalid Manifest Content' but no other details. All of this was working until recently. Here is my manifest:
{
"web_accessible_resources": [
"files/*",
"js/languages.json"
],
"name": "Workspace Manager",
"version": "0.962",
"manifest_version": 2,
"short_name": "Workspace Tab Manager extension.",
"description": "Tab Manager and Productivity Extension - save tabs as workspaces and revisit them in the future",
"icons": {

"48": "images/48x48.png",
"128": "images/128x128.png"
},
"background": {
"scripts": ["background.js"],
"persistent": false
},
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": {
"16": "images/16x16.png",
"48": "images/48x48.png",
"128": "images/128x128.png"
},
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"permissions": [
"tabs",
"storage"
],
"content_security_policy": "script-src 'self' https://ajax.googleapis.com https://ssl.google-analytics.com https://www.googletagmanager.com; object-src 'self'"
}
It turns out that duplicate keys are no longer allowed. And to fix it, you not only need to delete one of the duplicates (as I did), but you need to unpublish your extension entirely and then republish.
It wasn't clear on what would happen when unpublishing. Essentially, you extension will disappear from the Webstore and when you republish, it takes longer than usual to review it. (it took about 2 days vs the normal couple hours). In that time it will say 'pending' but when it does get approved, everything in your store will be restored and it will be as though nothing happened.
I have created a Chrome extension and published it to the Chrome Web Store. I noticed with my initial version that when a user tried to install it they would get the warning that my extension could "read and change all your data on the websites you visit". I've changed and republished my extension so that I don't think that warning should be displayed, but it still gets displayed. Based on the information at https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/permission_warnings I don't think that message should be showing up. Below is what is in my manifest.json file. Any suggestions for how to make the warning go away?

I have a little problem whit my chrome extension.
The extension works if I'm on a URL that not uses fragment.
Now sure on how to configure it.
Im trying with definition < all_urls > but as I wrote. it does not work on pages with fragment.
manifest.json
{
"update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",
"name": "Analytic Live Alarm",

Any ideas?
Thanks
Taking into account your previous question..
It's not "not working", it's working once; then, as you navigate, the page is not really reloaded, and your script does not run again.
Instead of coloring all elements at document_end, you need to detect new elements that match your selector and re-apply your styles.
This question should help you get started, or better yet mutation-summary library.
made my first chorme ext. and it works fine on old comp.
now with new one try to load unpacked ext. and it don't works at all. i see my ext popup ad bg.html but content script didn't loads at all, neiter images that shold be on target page.

You do not have to give the link of css to manifest.json file. Just, call it in bg.html
My manifest.json file
{
"name": "Example",
"version": "2.0",
"description": "Example.com Description",
"icons": { "16":"Images/Example/16x16.png", "32":"Images/Example/32x32.png", "48": "Images/Example/48x48.png", "64": "Images/Example/64x64.png", "128": "Images/Example/128x128.png" },
"app":
{
"default_icon": "../Images/Example/icon.png",
"launch":
{
"local_path": "Pages/Index.html"
}
},
"permissions": [ "http://www.Example.com/",
"http://*.Example.com/",
"https://www.Example.com/",
"https://*.Example.com/",
"unlimitedStorage",
"tabs",
"notifications"
],
"options_page": "Pages/Options.html",
"background_page": "Pages/Background.html"
}
If that answer helped you, please mark it as an answer...
If you are still taking errors, please ask them to bottom of that answer.
Best Regards.
EDIT:
View errors - Steps;
Click your extension button to open it.
Open the debug window in Google Chrome with F12 key.
Click "Console" tab page.
Take a screenshot of it, and post the picture in your question.
With that way everybody can help you =)
EDIT 2:
ok your question seems looking littlebit different now.
Here is algorithm;
Download the site sourcecode of target webpage with jquery,
Insert your css line in head tag with json,
Store new source code in localStorage( html5 )
When it's done, refresh the page with js, and read new source code from localStorage
And show it in html.
if anyone interests, problem solved, by some reason in manifest add unprop whitespases "content_scripts": [{
"matches": ["http://lardi-trans.com/gruz/*","http://lardi-trans.com/trans/*"],
this works!))
