Fixing "Error: Frame with ID 0 was removed"

[Uğur]

Hi everyone,

My extension gives this error but couldn't catch the case exactly and stack trace doesn't give much information. which line etc.

there is only one code group related to Frame, I am  not sure whether it causes the error or not.

There is a lot of code related to tabs, creating, deleting etc.

Any recommendation for me?

Frame id 0 is a technical term for the main page of the tab. In modern Chrome it can be swapped from a prerendered page or from a back/forward cache after you got tabId but before the script is actually injected. The solution is to use documentId of the tab instead of its tabId. This property is present in `sender` parameter of chrome.runtime.onMessage, in `port.sender` for onConnect, also in most webNavigation and webRequest events, see the documentation.

Hi,
I'm having a similar error: "Frame with ID 0 is showing error page" while trying to inject scripts to a tab using chrome.scripting.executeScript:

Is this error originate from the same problem?
If it is, can you widen your explanation about the frame id 0? I couldn't get to the bottom of it.

Otherwise, what could be the reason for this error?

Thank you😊

The error message says the tab is showing an error e.g. the site cannot be reached or the tab just crashed.

That's interesting.
How should one handle this situation?

Is it a situation where the tab is "gone" and we should give up on him?
