Re: [crx] Manifest file is invalid

[PhistucK]

Is the manifest saved as UTF8 (with a BOM)?

If so, can you replace the special (accented) characters from?

Also, I believe the value of the "permissions" key must only contain hosts, not full URLs ("http://suggest.mlapps.com/", not "http://suggest.mlapps.com/jm/*").

Hi, I am upgrading my extension's manifest.

In my local machine, the extension works.

When I publish for the test group and try to install it, this wild error message appears: "Manifest file is invalid".

This is the manifest:

{

  "name": "MercadoLivre - Sugestões de busca",

  "description" : "Busque no MercadoLivre direto da barra de endereços",

  "version": "0.12",

  "manifest_version": 2,

  "content_security_policy": "script-src 'self' https://ssl.google-analytics.com; object-src 'self'",

  "omnibox": { "keyword" : "ml" },

  "permissions": [

    "http://suggest.mlapps.com/jm/*"

  ]

}

How can I fix that?

Are you sure you packed and uploaded the correct files?

And according to http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/match_patterns.html your values of the "permissions" key should be valid, in oppose to what PhistucK suggested.

Mmm..

http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/manifest.html#permissions says "Specifies a host permission.".

http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/match_patterns.html defines "host" as -

host — for example, www.google.com or *.google.com or *; if the scheme is file, there is no host part

But I wrote "I believe" because I did not try it recently, however, there were issues with putting non host only URLs there once (if not still), so I am trying to play on the safe side.

Phistuck, I saved as UTF-8 and without special characters and it didn't work.

The permissions worked in the last version. I changed them according to your suggestions and it didn't work.

Alvin Wong, everything is packed correctly. I use zip not crx by the way and everything is in the root. I can't change to crx because I uploaded the first version as zip.

The problem occurs when I upload a manifest with manifest_version 2 (with the suggested attribute names changes).

When I change back to manifest_version 1, everything works fine, so I think it isn't related to the pack or encoding.

Problem NOT solvet yet.

I tried to update another extension of mine and I got this problem again.

Try to install the preview of GitHub Notifications:

  Join this group so you can install the extension: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/testeteste1230

  Install the extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lliahakgdhnopceclokooacmcgimcdoo/preview
  You will get "Manifest file is invalid."
