Instead of running the action, chrome extension menu appears when clicking a page action












0















I have a Chrome Extension (page action). The extension is loaded in developer mode (not from the store).



The extension is used in two sites, both of which URLs are in the manifest.



When I go to one of the sites, the page icon is enabled and when I click it, it runs fine.



When I go to the other site, the extension icon is also enabled but when I click on the extension, instead of running the action, the extension menu appears (as if I had right-clicked the icon instead of clicked it).



When I hover the page action icon, in both sites I get the text "Has access to this site".



Which are possible causes for this behavior?

  • One of the reasons it may happen is an error in your code. Check your background page console.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. I just checked and there is no error logged in the console.

  • Well, that was a guess based on what I saw myself. Show us an MCVE please.
