chrome.offscreen.createDocument({
url: chrome.runtime.getURL('off_screen.html'),
reasons: ['WORKERS'],
justification: 'reason for needing the document',
});
When I try to create offscreen document for my chrome extension, it throws an error.
Uncaught TypeError: Error in invocation of
offscreen.createDocument(offscreen.CreateParameters parameters, function callback):
Error at parameter 'parameters':
Error at property 'reasons':
Error at index 1: Value must be one of
AUDIO_PLAYBACK, BLOBS, CLIPBOARD, DISPLAY_MEDIA, DOM_PARSER, DOM_SCRAPING,
IFRAME_SCRIPTING, TESTING, USER_MEDIA, WEB_RTC.
In documentation "WORKERS" are clearly there
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/offscreen/#type-Reason
Why am I getting this error and how can I fix it if possible?
See what's new: WORKERS was added in Chrome 113.
In older versions of Chrome you can use a fallback reason like this:
reasons: [chrome.offscreen.Reason.WORKERS || chrome.offscreen.Reason.IFRAME_SCRIPTING],
