chrome.windows.create

  • 772

I try to create a new popup-style window from an addon, but Google's documentation seems insufficient.

Code:

var opciones ={
    'url': url, 
    'width':400, 
    'height':300,
    'type': 'popup'
};

chrome.windows.create(opciones, function(window) {
    console.log("ventana creada");
});

When I run it, it tells me:

 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'create' of undefined

I really don't know where the error could be.

javascript

    You may be trying to make the API call from a content script . They cannot access most of the features of the Google APIs, only those listed in the documentation .

    A possible solution is to delegate the call to a background script, sending it a message , and let it execute the action.
