Title:
chrome.extension not available when called from extension scripts in
Chromium but works on Chrome
Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I updated to 13.10 and Chromium 29.0.1547.65-0ubuntu2, a few
extensions stopped working properly. The easiest to reproduce is
Reddit Enhancement Suite 4.3.0.1, it immediately fails on loading the
extension with this error:
chrome.extension is not available: 'extension' is not allowed for
specified context type content script, extension page, web page,
etc.). [VM] binding (22):427
Following from anywhere that called chrome.extension.sendMessage or
chrome.extension.onMessage in the extension. Chromium's own bug
tracker says this usage is deprecated (replaced by chrome.runtime
namespace which does work) but testing against Chrome 29.0.1547.76 on
the stable channel, the older namespace works correctly with the
extensions.
