Whenever I try to read from a cookie using the chrome.cookies.get()
function I get this error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'get' of undefined.
I am calling the function in my content.js file, and it will only run on twitter.com(that part works).
Here is my manifest file:
{
"manifest_version": 2,
"name": "Twitter-MultiSignin",
"description": "twiter sign in",
"version": "1.0",
"permissions": [ "cookies", "alarms" , "http://*/*", "https://*/*", "storage"],
"content_scripts": [{
"matches": ["http://twitter.com/*","https://twitter.com/*"],
"js": ["jquery.js","content.js"]
}],
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": "icon.png",
"default_popup": "popup.html"
}
}
Here is my content.js (it always alerts on the twitter page so that works fine):
$(function() {
alert('got here');
try{
chrome.cookies.get({ url: 'https://twitter.com', name: 'auth_token' }, function (cookie){
alert(cookie.value);
});
}catch(err){
//do nothing
alert(err);
}
try{
chrome.cookies.get({ url: 'https://twitter.com', name: 'twid' },
function (cookie) {
if (cookie) {
twid_raw = cookie.value;
twid = twid_raw.split('=')[1]
alert(twid);
}
else{
alert("not found");
}
});
}catch(err){
//do nothing
}
})
chrome. cookies. set({ url: "http://example.com/", name: "CookieVar", value: "123", expirationDate: 3600 });
With the Cookies API your extensions have access to capabilities similar to those used by websites to store and read cookies.
One one hand, yes, cookies are available in Chrome extensions.
In case someone skipped this, be sure to add "cookies" to permissions.
