PB "chrome.storage.local.get" never called

Add-ons Development
#1

Hello everyone,

I’m the developper of the WebExtension :
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/lockself/

This is a password manager, and i need to store & use datas to identify or configure account.

Since few time, the native method “chrome.storage.local.get(null, callback)” doesn’t work …
To be really exact, the “callback function” is never called … no error, no trace …
I can put a console.log before & after … they are displayed, but if i put a console.log at the start of the callback function, it doesn’t appear and nothing happen in it

var APP_LANG = ‘default’;
var URLAPI = “https://www.xxxxxx.com/outils/apixxxxx.php”;

var TrackError = function (error){
console.log(error); }



var connexion = function(){
TrackError("connexion");
user = {};
user.autofill     	= true;
user.autoDestroyPub = true;
user.username     	= document.getElementById('c_username').value;
user.password     	= document.getElementById('c_password').value;
user.urlAPI       	= (document.getElementById('URLAPI').value.length > 0)?document.getElementById('URLAPI').value:URLAPI;
user.ExtensionVersion =  chrome.runtime.getManifest().version;
user.lastusername 	= user.username;
user.language 		= APP_LANG;
var nextStepCo = function(msg){
	if (msg) alert(msg);
	clickConnexionAction=true;
	TrackError(user);
	chrome.storage.local.set(user);
	IsConnected();
}
$.get(user.urlAPI+'/../apipub.php', function(e){ user.pubs = e;nextStepCo(); });}




   var IsConnected =  function (){
	  TrackError("IsConnected");
	chrome.storage.local.get(null, function(e){
		TrackError("Inside - IsConnected");
		
	}); TrackError("End - IsConnected"); }

And it’s verry strange, that’s working fine on :

  • Chrome
  • Firefox Nightly
  • Firefox Developper Edition
  • Standard Firefox ( before version 49.0 )

Manifest.json Permission :

permissions": [ “tabs”, “<all_urls>”, “storage”, “unlimitedStorage”, “webNavigation” , “webRequest”, “webRequestBlocking”,“downloads” ],

Have you Some Idea ?

Thanks for everything !

I encountered a but that Firefox wouldn’t resolve a browser.storage.local.get Promise about a Month ago too, probably in FF49.

In my case it only occurred while my extensions settings page was loading. Putting the request in a setTimeout(..., 10) fixed that for me.

It doesn’t work in my case :confused:
I’m searching a durable solution, this is in enterprise context :confused:

#4

Side note: you aren’t error checking. You should.If chrome.runtime.lastError is set in the callback, you need to do the get again.

#5

Already done (i was putting it in TrackError), but nothing more happen …
No error … Iike that’s working … But no working :frowning:

#6

In your manifest.json you have this blank string, can it be that all permissions after this don’t take?

#7

“” was the all_url tag stripped by the Mozilla forum

#8

Can you share a complete minimal example that reproduces the problem?

Hi,

Here is a basic example of storage (why not using “synch” instead of “local”?):

chrome.storage.sync.get(“last_popup_time”, function (obj)
{
var milliseconds = (new Date).getTime();

  }

});

“permissions”: [“webRequest”,“webRequestBlocking”, “<all_urls>”, “storage”],

Because Firefox doesn’t support it (yet):
