Chrome扩展程序，无法获取Cookie

Question

I'm trying to get cookies from my Chrome extension when the app is loading:

chrome.cookies.getAll({ "url": config.cookie.cookieUrl }, function (cookies) {
            if (callback) callback(cookies);
        });

Sometimes I get the error:

Error during cookies.getAll: No accessible cookie store found for the current execution context.

I recently stumbled upon this issue as well and it looks like it's far from being resolved by the chromium project: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=113994

The solution I found to work is checking first if there's a cookie store available:

    function isCookieStoreAvailable() {
        return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
            chrome.cookies.getAllCookieStores(function (cookieStores) {                
                if (cookieStores.length) {
                    resolve();
                } else {
                    reject();
                }
            });
        });
    }

Then retrying several times until it becomes available.

Another thing I did was to reload the extension after 10 seconds of retrying but that's only as a last resort:

chrome.runtime.reload()

Hope this helps.
