Error when I try to upload a Chrome extension

Question

I try to upload a Chrome extension and I get this error:

An error occurred: Your sentence is not processed.

The package is not found manifesto. Put manifesto manifest.json in the root directory of the zip package.

I have manifest.json in root directory

Answer 1

Most probably, your ZIP contains the folder with your extension:

extension.zip
+-> extension_folder
    +-> manifest.json
    +-> script.js
    +-> resources
        +-> ...
        ...
    ...

However, the docs clearly state that the root of the archive should contain the manifest, e.g.

extension.zip
+-> manifest.json
+-> script.js
+-> resources
    +-> ...
    ...
...

In short: don't zip the folder itself, zip the files in it.
