Issue, This extension may have been corrupted

[Stéphane Giron]

Hi

I get this error (This extension may have been corrupted) reported by user from 2 days.

My extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mark-as-important-for-gma/choagfemmpcnmehbhkfoedlakeafcodp) is 1,5 year old without any code change for 1 year.

To be honnest I don't understand why sudenly I have this mention.

• I tried to repair the app but when I restart chrome it is corrupted again.
  
• I have uploaded a new version (only change version in manifest) but it is the same.
  

This extension add a menu in right click menu of gmail and when you select this menu it add an exclamation mark in subject of email.

I don't know what to do.

The manifest :

{
    "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["https://mail.google.com/*"],
      "js": ["./js/jquery-1.7.min.js","./js/jquery.highlight.js"]
    }
  ],
"background" : { "scripts": ["./js/m_as_i.js"] },


   "description": "Mark an email as important in Gmail.",
   "icons": {
      "128": "128.png",
      "16": "16.png",
      "32": "32.png",
      "48": "48.png"
   },
 "permissions": [ "contextMenus", "http://*/*", "https://*/*"],
   "manifest_version": 2,
   "name": "Mark as important for Gmail™",
   "version": "0.9.6"
 
}

I see three possibilities:
1) The extension has changed inadvertently (disk corruption).

2) The extension has been changed on purpose (either by someone changing files on disc or automatically by malware).

3) There's a bug in the corruption verification system.

I think the first option is unlikely because you've already tried to repair. I doubt it would get corrupted again, although it is possible.

But since the corruption still occurs after repairing, I find the second possibility the most likely.

Possibility 3 I would only consider if the extension is identical to the one on the server (is not being modified at all).

In fact I received an answer from Rob Wu, it is link to the way file are listed. Answer :

Replace "./js/" with "js/".

See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=444085#c25 for debugging instructions (scroll up if you want to learn more about the scope of the bug).

This seems to work, but require to remove an install again extension.....

Good to hear. Sounds like possibility number 3 and this was indeed exactly the kind of bug I was thinking of. Just didn't have the bug number handy when you asked.
