Chrome says my extension's manifest file is missing or unreadable

Question

I\'m a new chrome extension developer, and I was going through the Chrome tutorial on making a \"Hello World\" extension, here\'s my code:

     {
      \"name\":         


        

Answer 1

Mine also was funny. While copypasting " manifest.json" from the tutorial, i also managed to copy a leading space. Couldn't get why it's not finding it.
