Why is chrome.browserAction.onClicked undefined?

Question

I\'m writing a Chrome extension that will redirect me to a URL when clicking on the browser action icon.

I\'m trying to use:

chrome.browserAction.onC         


        

Answer 1

For those who already have added something like

"background": {
    "scripts": ["background.js"]
}

and still gets Cannot read property 'onClicked' of undefined - just add

"browser_action": {}

into your manifest.json
