My extension checks for broken images on a website. Everything works fine if I open an URL at a time but if I open several URLs from one site, the summary in popup.html is always the same as the active tab (it's not updated for each site).
I don't know how to refer to the actual URL of the analysis and avoid the "active tab". Any ideas?
Manifest.json
{
"name": "Test",
"permissions": ["activeTab", "declarativeContent", "storage","tabs"],
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Test",
"background": {
"scripts": ["background.js"],
"persistent": false
},
"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": ["http://*/*", "https://*/*", "https://www.google.com/_/chrome/newtab*"],
"exclude_globs": ["*#*"],
"js": ["jquery-3.4.1.min.js", "content.js"]
}
],
"web_accessible_resources": ["popup.html"],
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": {
"16": "images/ico.png",
"32": "images/ico.png",
"48": "images/ico.png",
"128": "images/ico.png"
}
},
"manifest_version": 2
}
Content.js
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((msg, sender, response) => {
if (msg.subject === 'DOMInfo') {
var domInfo = {
images: number_images
};
response(domInfo);
}
});
Popup.js
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
chrome.tabs.query({
active: true,
currentWindow: true
}, tabs => {
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(
tabs[0].id,
{subject: 'DOMInfo'},
setDOMInfo);
});
});
I'm pretty sure is the tabs[0].id
that causes the problem but I'm not sure how I can refer to the current URL that run the content.js script and make sure the popup.html gets the analysis from this URL. Any ideas?
In the background.js I had no problem referring the sender tab:
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function(msg, sender, sendResponse)
{
chrome.tabs.query({active:true, windowType:"normal", currentWindow: true},function(d){
var tabId = sender.tab.id;
....
