MV3 and chrome.alarms

[Pavel Aronovich]

I use one chrome.alarm in the extension, which is installed in chrome.runtime.onInstalled:

chrome.alarms.clearAll(function() {
    chrome.alarms.create(ALARM_CHECK_TAB, { delayInMinutes: 1.0, periodInMinutes: 1.0 });
});

Recently we noticed that at some point there is not a single alarm in the browser.
How can this be?

I'm doing the cleanup because there were 2 timers in earlier versions of the extension.

Sounds like a bug i.e. the service worker was terminated while waiting for the API to return after calling clearAll but before running the callback.

[Pavel Aronovich]

maybe then do so?

chrome.alarms.clearAll();
chrome.alarms.create(ALARM_CHECK_TAB, {layInMinutes: 1.0, periodInMinutes: 1.0 });

Maybe don't use clearAll, but instead use getAll, then check and remove the wrong items explicitly. Normally there should be just a few items.

I'll think about it, thanks
