I'm trying to publish a firefox addon, but I'm getting an error:
Error: "/background" is in an unsupported format
My first thought was that maybe it's an issue with me migrating from manifest v2 to v3, but since it says "/background" I figured maybe I'm supposed to have a background folder or something. If that's the case, are there any other changes I need to make for my file strucutre? If not, what's the issue here?
Here is my current file structure:
┣ 📂.vscode
┃ ┗ 📜settings.json
┣ 📂css
┃ ┣ 📜options.css
┃ ┗ 📜popup.css
┣ 📂html
┃ ┣ 📜options.html
┃ ┗ 📜popup.html
┣ 📂icons
┃ ┣ 📂128
┃ ┃ ┣ 📜error.png
┃ ┃ ┣ 📜operational.png
┃ ┃ ┗ 📜warning.png
┃ ┣ 📂feather
┃ ┃ ┣ 📜help-circle.svg
┃ ┃ ┣ 📜refresh-cw.svg
┃ ┃ ┗ 📜settings.svg
┃ ┣ 📜.DS_Store
┃ ┣ 📜green_icon.png
┃ ┣ 📜red_icon.png
┃ ┗ 📜yellow_icon.png
┣ 📂js
┃ ┣ 📂node_modules
┃ ┃ ┣ 📂@types
┃ ┃ ┃ ┗ 📂firefox-webext-browser
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📜LICENSE
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📜README.md
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┣ 📜index.d.ts
┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┗ 📜package.json
┃ ┃ ┗ 📜.package-lock.json
┃ ┣ 📜common.js
┃ ┣ 📜options.js
┃ ┣ 📜package-lock.json
┃ ┣ 📜package.json
┃ ┣ 📜popup.js
┃ ┗ 📜test.js
┣ 📜.DS_Store
┣ 📜LICENSE
┣ 📜README.md
┣ 📜jsconfig.json
┗ 📜manifest.json
And here is my current manifest.json:
{
"manifest_version": 3,
"name": "GPTstatus",
"version": "1.0",
"browser_specific_settings": {
"gecko": {
"id": "[email protected]"
}
},
"description": "A browser extension that changes its icon depending on the status of ChatGPT.",
"homepage_url": "https://github.com/Zev18/gptstatus",
"icons": {
"128": "icons/128/operational.png"
},
"action": {
"default_icon": "icons/128/operational.png",
"default_title": "GPTstatus",
"default_popup": "html/popup.html"
},
"background": {
"service_worker": "js/common.js"
},
"options_ui": {
"page": "html/options.html",
"browser_style": true
},
"permissions": ["storage", "tabs"]
}
Thank you in advance!!
The answer is to use scripts instead of service_worker, as mentioned by wOxxOm in their comment. Just putting this here so I can mark the question as answered.
