How to fix "unchecked runtime.lasterror: message port closed early"?

Here is the approach given:-

1. Identifying the problem

This above error message states that the message that is sent from the contents script by using the chrome.runtime.sendMessage did not receive a response before the connection was closed.

2. Potential causes

The background script is taking so much time to process the request which can cause the message port to be closed before a response Is sent.

3. Troubleshoot step

Firstly, you would need to check the background script. You should try to verify that the background script is correctly receiving and also processing the message.

You should also try to ensure that the background script should have the proper handling and always sends a response, even in case of errors.

You should try to investigate if there is any timeout or delays in the background script which can cause it to take too long to respond.

You should also try to check if the extension is being reloaded or disabled during the message exchange.

You should try to Inspect the network request in the background script to see if there are any delays or failures in the API calls.

Here is a java based example given:-

Import java.util.ArrayList;

Import java.util.Scanner;

Class Task {

    Private String description;

    Private boolean isCompleted;

    Public Task(String description) {

        This.description = description;

        This.isCompleted = false;

    }

    Public void markAsCompleted() {

        isCompleted = true;

    }

    Public boolean isCompleted() {

        Return isCompleted;

    }

    Public String getDescription() {

        Return description;

    }

    @Override

    Public String toString() {

        Return (isCompleted ? “[x] “ : “[ ] “) + description;

    }

}

Class TodoList {

    Private ArrayList tasks;

    Public TodoList() {

        Tasks = new ArrayList<>();

    }

    Public void addTask(String description) {

        Tasks.add(new Task(description));

    }

    Public void removeTask(int index) {

        If (index >= 0 && index < tasks>= 0 && index < tasks xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed xss=removed>
