chrome.runtime.getManifest() is not defined

Question

I\'m trying to work with some javascript that accesses chrome.runtime in Google Chrome. The script calls the chrome.runtime.getManifest() function, but my console says that fun

Answer 1

I found the answer. These functions are only available when the javascript is running from a Chrome App.

Answer 2

For Chrome extensions, this method is only available in the background scope.
