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

If you do not have a "browser_action" property defined in your manifest.json then this error may occur. @Kirill's answer works but you also have to add a blank icon.png file else chrome will throw an error that it cannot find such a file.

Adding this to the manifest.json file should suppress this is error:

"browser_action": {}

Be sure to read the documentation for further reference on how to use the "browser_action" setting.
