I'm trying to send a simple message from the backround.js to the content-script.js but I'm not really successful.
here is the backround relevant code:
function sendStop(){
chrome.tabs.query({active: true, currentWindow: true}, function(tabs) {
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabs[0].id, {greeting: "stop"}, function(response) {
});
});
}
theScriptsAreinserted = false
chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(function(clickDate) {
if (clickDate.menuItemId == 'select' && theScriptsAreinserted == false) {
addJsScript()
addCssScript()
theScriptsAreinserted = true
if (clickDate.menuItemId == 'select' && theScriptsAreinserted == true) {
sendStop()
}
}
});and here is the content-script relevant code (runs all the time):
function reset(){
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(
function(request, sender, sendResponse) {
console.log(sender.tab);
if (request.greeting === "stop"){
finish == true;
console.log("finish")
}
}
);
}I just managed to learn it so I hope I do not make a terrible mistake and waste your time. Any help will be appreciated :)
