Calling eval() in a page-action

[dashman]

I'm calling the following in a page-action page.
where my_string is a JSON string.

eval( "(" + my_string + ")" )

I'm getting the following error message

Uncaught Error: Code generation from strings disallowed for this context

This is with the new chrome release - used to work before.

you can't use eval()

how are you getting your JSON string? Dynamically creating, via http request, leprechauns?

is it a valid JSON?

have you tried JSON.parse() ?

i'm getting it from a http request.

actually it's the body of a http GET and yes it's valid...always
worked.

with manifest v2 - it's being flagged.

any suggestions for a workaround.

i.e. i have a JSON string and want to parse it into a object.

You might want to try JSON.parse(...).

tried that and it worked after some mods.

"{ status: 0 }" does not work.


'{ "status": 0 }' works - i.e. enclose attribute in double quotes.
