chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener doesn't work

[Andrew Ste]

When i'm trying in my extension to detect install or update event, nothing happens.

I'm doing like this:

// Check whether new version is installed

chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(function(details){

    if(details.reason == "install"){

        console.log("This is a first install!");

    }else if(details.reason == "update"){

        var thisVersion = chrome.runtime.getManifest().version;

        console.log("Updated from " + details.previousVersion + " to " + thisVersion +" + !");

    }

});

But i didn't see any console.log messages in my background page.

I'm tried to reloading page with extensions when extension is installed (update action trigger?), installing packaged crx, nothing works. 

Chrome Version 25.0.1364.160 m

Maybe, i need to set up some permissions? How can i see, that this event is fired?

Forget to say, - installing by dragging extension into chrome://extensions/ page, not from Web Store.

i found the strange, but working solution.

This is example of my background file, named daemon.js and called from background.html page

require.config({

  baseUrl: '/js' 

});

require([

    "background"

  ], function() { 

      

  });

chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(function(details){

    console.log(details);

});

As you see, it uses require.js and calling background.js file. It's a point of enter.

If i place chrome.runtime.onInstalled INSIDE background.js, - it will not work.

But when i place chrome.runtime.onInstalled like this, directly in daemon.js file, - it works.

Why this happens, can someone explain?

Try using alert instead. You will only see console.log when the background script console is open and it won't be open when you install.
