Unable to access Global variables in chrome.tabs.executescript in V.55.0.2883.75

[Rakesh Adak]

Hello,

I recently updated Chrome to version 55.0.2883.75.

I am using a self developed Chrome Plugin to parse my HTML files wherein I use chrome.tabs.executescript to get data from background HTML page.

So when I execute chrome.extension.onRequest, I save the background page's parsed data to a global variable and access it in the callback function of chrome.tabs.executescript and process it.

This was working fine till I update to Version 55.0.2883.75.

How can I access the global variables in the new version ??

My Code Below :

Step 1 :

chrome.extension.onRequest.addListener(
    function (request, sender, sendResponse) {
        parser = new DOMParser();
        htmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(request.content, "text/html");
        

        //outputJson is a global variable which is Populated here

        outputJson = parseMyPage(outputJson, htmlDoc);
            
        
    });

Step 2:

chrome.tabs.getSelected(null, function (tab) {
    // Now inject a script onto the page
    chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.id,{
        code: "chrome.extension.sendRequest({content: document.body.innerHTML}, function(response) { console.log('success'); });"
    }, function () {

       //my code to access global variables

if (outputJson && null != outputJson) {
    // other stuff
}

    });

});

Please, use stackoverflow.com for extension development questions.

If you are pretty sure that this is indeed a Chrome issue, or a backward incompatible change made to Chrome, you can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.

Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.
