Service worker not waking up...

[Juraj M.]

From time to time I get a report from user that shows that the background script is not responding to a simple "ping" message.

I remember this was "solved" already here:
https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40805401

But I have a feeling there are still some cases when this happens.

For example NOW, on my own PC :).

I'm running  Version 146.0.7668.2

And the "chrome://serviceworker-internals/" shows this:

ServiceWorker

I'm not sure when it broke, I've just noticed my extension is somewhat broken and then I've noticed it's due to inactive service worker.

Even if I click the "service worker (inactive)" link in the chrome extensions page, nothing happens.

Are there maybe some logs I could check right now to help investigate this?
