In one of my components, when the component is loaded, I want my extension to paste the script into the current tab in which the extension is running. The script essentially gets the source code and saves it as a string.
So, in mine, componentWillMountI tried to enter a script as follows ...
componentWillMount() {
var result = '';
chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {
file: './js/scripts/getPageSource.js'
}, function() {
if (chrome.runtime.lastError) {
result = 'There was an error injecting script : \n' + chrome.runtime.lastError.message;
}
});
}
The path to my script ./js/scripts/getPageSource.jsrefers to my file index.html, which is used by my responsive application.
I get the error file was not found, so I changed the path relative to the component, but I still could not find the file.
I think maybe this is the wrong way to paste a script into an open tab with a reaction, is there a better way to do this?
EDIT
Here is my file manifest.json...
{
"name": "Get pages source",
"version": "1.0",
"manifest_version": 2,
"description": "Get pages source from a popup",
"browser_action": {
"default_popup": "src/index.html"
},
"permissions": ["tabs", "<all_urls>"]
}
./js/scripts/getPageSource.js src,
