Description

Hi,


When I tried to call chrome.runtime.getManifest() in my Firefox OS add-on,
an error occurred, the stacktrace is as below:

TypeError: context is undefined

Can you attach a test add-on?

Your stack seems to come from the webide extension installation. Does that also reproduce after a normal restart?

Yes, I install the add-on via WebIDE on Firefox Nightly,
I haven't try it after a normal restart, will update in comment when I do.

BTW I'm testing chrome.runtime.getManifest() after this line:
https://github.com/elin-moco/fxos-addon-draggable-home-btn/blob/master/index.js#L174
which is the end of the initialization function,
chrome.extension.getURL() works well there, 
thinking maybe the timing is too early for getManifest()?

I'll try tomorrow when I get to access my device.

Hi,


To make things simpler,
I created an add-on based on the simple-addon example to test chrome.runtime.getManifest()
https://github.com/elin-moco/simple-addon/tree/get-manifest-error

the getManifest() call is fired when the black block on the screen clicked.
And currently it shows error, and the error still occurs after a clean restart.
