offscreen.createDocument don't throw any error when trying to open an incorrect URL

[Roberto Oneto]

Hi developers,

I would like to know if it is normal for the "chrome.offscreen.createDocument" method

does not throw any error when trying to open a document that does not exist (i.e. if a incorrect URL is indicated)

Example:
chrome.offscreen.createDocument({
   url: 'osd2.html',     /* osd2.html is an incorrect url */
   reasons: ["DOM_PARSER"],
   justification: 'dummy'
},  _ => {
   console.log('Error: ', chrome.runtime.lastError)
})

First time I run it in console I can read:
Error: undefined
and I don't see any documents in the "Inspect views" list

If I run it a second time I can instead read:
Error {message: 'Only a single offscreen document may be created.'}

Wrapping the creation inside a try-catch the behavior is similar.
No error is generated at first time

It would seem that a ghost document is created the first time.

Don't you find it a little strange?

TIA

Of course, it is a bug.

I post again because the previous one it was inexplicably removed (not by myself).

A bug report has been opened :  bug-report-link

That bug has been fixed in chrome 126.

Thank the team
