Devtools Extension Cannot read property 'connect'

[Ambati Manoj]

Hi All,

I developing Devtools extension by following this example from github. I am able to run the extension fine in the developer mode but when i moved the same to web store. I am facing the following issue This extension may have been corrupted. and found following console error :

(Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'connect' of undefined

    at createChannel (messaging.js:13)

    

messaging.js:13 has this code 

(function createChannel() {   

    var port = chrome.extension.connect({

        name: "Sample" 

    });

    var count=0;

    var activeTabClass;

    // Listen to messages from the background page

    port.onMessage.addListener(function (message) {

setTimeout(function(){showResult(message);},1)       

    });

and Manifest.json has this.

{

  "name": "Sample Engine",

  "version": "1.04",

  "manifest_version": 2,

  "devtools_page": "devtools.html",

  "description": "Chrome Developer Tools",

  "icons": { "64": "images/pact.png" },

  "background": {

    "scripts": [

      "scripts/jquery-ui.min.js",

     "scripts/background.js",

  "scripts/panel.js",

  "scripts/tab-order.js",

  "scripts/high-lighter.js"   

    ],

   "persistent": false

  },

  "content_scripts": [

    {     

      "js": [ "scripts/jquery1.12.4-min.js", "scripts/jquery-ui.min.js"],

  "css": ["css/Injected-styles.css"]

    }

  ],

 

  "permissions": [

    "activeTab",

    "tabs",

I don't see connect listed as a property or method for chrome.extensions: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/extension

Have you looked at using chrome.runtime? https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/runtime

 The documentation here (https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/messaging) suggests you should be using chrome.runtime.connect.

Thanks for the reply I have tried with chrome.runtime.connect as well. The result remained the same.
