Pagemirror extension immediately closes tab

[Lasse Schou]

Hi Rafael,

Thanks for an amazing library. I wanted to try out the pagemirror extension, to find out more about the library works, but after following the installation instructions, it doesn't work. The tab that opens up immediately closes. Reproduced on different machines.

What happens is that the port that's opened by this line: 

var port = chrome.tabs.connect(tabId);

Is immediately disconnected for some reason, which in turn closes the tab.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Lasse

This exact same thing happens to me and my friend when we try to use this example. Is this example broken, or are we doing something wrong?

Seeing the same as you three guys...

I ran into this problem before and removing the first return statement followed by the "console.error('This example...')" resolved it. There is actually an error msg in console pointing there.
