Alright I'm making my first chrome extension and I've ran into a bit of a problem:
manifest.json
{
"name": "...",
"description": "...",
"version": "1.0",
"manifest_version": 3,
"background": {
"service_worker": "background.js"
},
"permissions": [
"tabs",
"scripting",
"activeTab"
],
"host_permissions": [
"tabs",
"scripting",
"activeTab"
]
}
background.js
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId, info, tab) {
if (info.status == 'complete') changeTheme(tab);
});
function changeTheme(tab) {
chrome.scripting.insertCSS({
target: {tabId: tab.id},
css: "h1 { color: #212121; }"
})
}
The extension devtool console logs this:
Error: Cannot access contents of url "long ass url". Extension manifest must request permission to access this host.
How would I "Request" permission?
CodePudding user response:
"host_permissions"
is for matching urls
not for permissions.
Change this:
"host_permissions": [
"tabs",
"scripting",
"activeTab"
]
Into this:
"host_permissions": [
"https://example.org/foo/bar.html"
]
Or any other urls you want the extension to be available on (expect chrome://
)
If you want the extension to be available on all sites use:
"host_permissions": [
"<all_urls>"
]
