Chrome扩展程序：未加载JavaScript

Question

I have the following code for a chrome extension, the contentscript.py as per another question on stackoverflow:

manifest.js

{
"name": "test script",
"version": "0.1",
"content_scripts": [{
    "js": ["contentscript.js"],
    "matches": ["http://*/*"]
}],
"manifest_version": 2,
"web_accessible_resources": ["script.js"]
}

contentscript.js

var s = document.createElement('script');
s.src = chrome.extension.getURL('script.js');
(document.head||document.documentElement).appendChild(s);
s.onload = function() {
    s.parentNode.removeChild(s);
};

script.js

document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(new RegExp("this", "gi"), "that");

In order to simply replace some text. If I put the same expression that is on script.js on a test html file, it works, but it in the extension it doesn't appear as though the code is actually injected. I cannot for the life of me figure out why. The manifest and the contentscript seem in order, so I don't know what to do here.

Answer 1

try adding "https://*/*" to matches in manifest.json. I recommend you to put this first line in your contentscript.js:

console.log('Content script loaded and started');

So you can inspect the page (F12, console tab) and see if the content script was injected or not. It'll help a lot with your debugging.

I don't know what is going on in your script.js, but it worth consider that your removechild in the onload event may occur before your task being done.
