Sending message (postMessage) to a sandbox window

[Luigino De Togni]

Hi,

as described on official documentation

i'm trying to send a data (by postMessage web api) to a sandbox window, but without success.

Sandbox works perfectly, i added on manifest sandbox permissions but on sandbox js source i can't receive data

Here there are my manifest.json and code used to create new sandbox window to send it data

manifest.json

{

    ............................

    "sandbox": {

        "pages": [

            "test_message.html"

        ]

............

    .....................

}

main.js used to open new sandbox window

    chrome.app.window.create('test_message.html', {
            alwaysOnTop: true,
            resizable: false
            //state: "fullscreen"
        },
        function (win) {
            myWin = win;
            myWin.contentWindow.postMessage('Just wanted to say hey.', '*');
        }); 

sandbox.js module used to receive data 

var messageHandler = function (event) {
    console.log('Background script says hello.', event.data);
    // Send a reply
    event.source.postMessage({
        'reply': 'Sandbox received: ' + event.data
    }, event.origin);
};
window.addEventListener("message", messageHandler, false);

My os is OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 with Google Chrome v37

Thank you for any suggestions!

https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-app-samples/tree/master/samples/sandbox works. I haven't taken time to recreate your sample, but please try working from the known working sample.

Hi,

yes i saw this github samples which include Sandobx tutorial.

At the end i did as this tutorial, using an iframe (it works).

It is strange because reading official documentation seems you can send postMessage without using iframe tag, mayb is it a bug?

Thank you anyway!

Bugs exist. If you would, file the bug at crbug.com/new and include the sample app you have as simplified as possible, we'll triage it with other issues and address them in priority order.
