Unable to load into Chrome? Migrate to MV3?

Open jpladdison opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

Hi, I have very little programming experience so I am likely missing something basic, but when I attempt to follow the instructions in the Readme I get this error from Chrome: "At least one js or css file is required for 'content_scripts[0]'. Could not load manifest." This is after realizing I needed to direct it to the src>static folder to find the manifest. Is there a .css file I need to make here for Chrome to recognize this as a valid extension?

There are three assets in the release page: https://github.com/eight04/image-picka/releases/tag/v0.19.0

  • image_picka-0.19.0.zip - this is the ready-to-use extension.
  • Source code (zip) - this is the source code of the repository, compressed into zip.
  • Source code (tar.gz) - this is the source code of the repository, compressed into tar.gz.

I guess you downloaded the source code since it doesn't contain a usable manifest.

If you want to compile the source code into the extension zip by yourself, you can follow the instruction here: https://github.com/eight04/image-picka/blob/master/BUILD.md

Otherwise, you should download image_picka-0.19.0.zip.

I think it because Manifest V2 not support anymore
