ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, Google Chrome Extension

file-not-found, google-chrome, google-chrome-extension, javascript

Solution

Presumably, you are loading an unpacked extension.

Suppose you have a folder where your `manifest.json` file is. For the sake of an example, `C:\Development\MyTestExtension`

Then this folder becomes the root for the extension (in your case, `chrome-extension://ijkjkkkinepajpigeijodppknjgdooef/`)

So, if you declare `popup.html` as your, well, popup, Chrome will look for `C:\Development\MyTestExtension\popup.html`. Make sure this is exactly how that file is named: on Windows, file extensions are hidden by default and it's very easy to save a file as, say, `popup.html.txt` and not see the `.txt` part.

As for a folder in the profile: it's only for packaged extensions that you download and install, not development unpacked versions.

Problem

Im trying to build google chrome extension. Below is my manifest file; I searched every where and took every step to resolve chrome-extension://ijkjkkkinepajpigeijodppknjgdooef/popup.html Error code: ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND ``` { "manifest_version": 2, "update_url": "http://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx", "name": "Game Extension", "version": "1.2.0", "description": "Just for Fun", "icons": { "256": "img/icon.png" }, "browser_action": { "default_popup": "popup.html" }, "permissions": [ "tabs", "identity", "http://*/*", "https://*/*" ], "oauth2": { "client_id": "232343423423PrivateClientKey", "scopes": ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email"] } } ``` I have done everything , but issue is still there. Also,inside Extension folder(**%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data**),like other extensions my extension has no folder. Please let me know what is going wrong.
