can you explain what do you mean had to create new tab ?

BrandonOP•13mo ago

I just mean after I reloaded the extension, I had to use a new tab. All existing tabs wouldn't work.

Adeel Ehsan•13mo ago

Okay. Do i have to create the content folder and then create the file inside it? Or the content.txt is fine ?

BrandonOP•13mo ago

I have contents/content.tsx

Adeel Ehsan•13mo ago

let me try that. new tab is't working for me

BrandonOP•13mo ago

It seems that it needs the .tsx extension. https://discord.com/channels/946290204443025438/1187812316025204736/1187812316025204736

BrandonOP•13mo ago

Can you share the files you have?

Adeel Ehsan•13mo ago

popup.tsx

content.tsx

Adeel Ehsan•13mo ago

would that work? or I should share all the files in zip folder ?

BrandonOP•13mo ago

change const res = await sendToContentScript({ name: "getContent" }) to const res = await sendToContentScript({ name: "content" })

I didn't make any changes to my package.json yeah I have a whole bunch of tabs open, but every time I reload the extension, I open a new tab

Adeel Ehsan•13mo ago

I have closed all the tabs and restart the browser and then opened only single tab only are you using npm or pnpm ? I am using npm can you please share the zip folder of your project ? if possible

BrandonOP•13mo ago

I'm using pnpm pnpm dev @Adeel Ehsan Not sure if you figured it out, but I just ran into it again. I deleted the build folder and built it again. Then it worked. Something else to try

Programming
