Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'addListener')

[YS LIN]

Hi there，

My extensions in development normal operation, But there will be a prompt after the Google extensions Store is launched "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'addListener')" And the function cannot be used normally.my chrome extensions version is V3.
The specific failure functions are: chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener() Because other functions defined are normal, only it fails.This problem has troubled me for a long time. Does anyone have a similar problem?

my chrome extension

This error will be reported when I right click on the menu（“查找相似图书资源”）。

// remove all contentMenus
chrome.contextMenus.removeAll(function () {
  // create contentMenus
  chrome.contextMenus.create(contextMenu)
})

// handle function
function contextMenusListener(info, tab) {
  chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tab.id, {
   // xxx
  })
}

// listen click do something       
chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(contextMenusListener)       // error

You should add "chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener" at top level in service worker, not in contextMenus.removeAll()'s callback.

If it works in dev mode, but doesn't work when published to CWS, check your bundled/minified code.

Hi Lys,

See this sample on how to use the contextMenus (also for Manifest V3):

Thanks,
