MV3: chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab() only works on extension badge click

[Mathieu Goedhart]

I'm working on an enterprise extension where we make a screenshot of every page the user visits. For that we use the chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab() function which used to work fine with mv2 but doesn't seem to work with mv3.

When i try to capture an tab (for example web.com)i get the following exception: Unchecked runtime.lastError: Either the '<all_urls>' or 'activeTab' permission is required.

I have the following permissions in my manifest file:

"permissions": ["cookies","activeTab","tabCapture", "tabs", "storage", ],

When I try to use the <all_urls> permission I get the error message below:

Permission ‘<all_urls>’ is unknown or URL pattern is malformed.

When I click on the extensions action-button, the screenshots strangely seem to go well.

Has something changed or am I doing something wrong?

Yep; Host permissions are split out into a different manifest key now.
