ViewsChrome extension ExecuteScript not firing XRM JavaScript
Dynamics CRM has its own XRM JS APIs, Which I'm trying to execute in a chrome extension that I'm working on. I'm using the below code.
chrome.tabs.query({ currentWindow: true, active: true }, function(tabs) {
chrome.scripting.executeScript({
target: { tabId: tabs[0].id },
func: () => {
Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("Hello world", () => { });
}
});
});
Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("Hello world", () => { });
This code just shows a message box on the Dynamics CRM screen using this Dynamics API method.
If I run this code in the chrome console, it shows the message properly. If I just put alert("Hello world")", that code also runs which confirms that executeScript is working fine, but somehow Xrm isn't available.
Manifest.json

After overflowing the stack a few times, I learned that the script injection needs to happen by explicitly creating a script tag and injecting it on the page body. similar to the code below.
function runOnXrmPage() {
// create a script tag
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.src = chrome.runtime.getURL('webscript.js');
s.onload = function () {
this.remove();
};
(document.head || document.documentElement).appendChild(s);
}
chrome.tabs.query({ currentWindow: true, active: true }, function (tabs) {
chrome.scripting.executeScript({
target: { tabId: tabs[0].id },
func: () => {
runOnXrmPage();
}
});
});
All the Xrm code was placed in webscript.js file and manifest was updated as pasted below.
"web_accessible_resources": [
{
"resources": [ "webscript.js" ],
"matches": [ "https://*.crm.dynamics.com/*" ]
}
