Chrome says my extension's manifest file is missing or unreadable 2023
I am new to coding as a whole. I am using ChatGPT to create an extension that displays the active price of a crypto coin. Once I can get it working I can then dissect what it took to create it and learn it from the bottom up. This is a training exercise I'm using to teach myself Python and other languages. Could you please assist me in understanding where I might be going wrong?
{
"name": "Shiba Inu Price Tracker",
"description": "Displays the current Shiba Inu price on CoinMarketCap.com",
"version": "1.0",
"manifest_version": 2,
"icons": {
"16": "icon16.png",
"48": "icon48.png",
"128": "icon128.png"
},
"browser_action": {
"default_icon": {
"16": "icon16.png",
"48": "icon48.png",
"128": "icon128.png"
},
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"permissions": [
"http://localhost:5000/"
]
}
I used the existing stack overflow question from 10 years ago but none of the items worked. Items tried:
- The file is by itself and not inside another folder
- Checked name - "manifest.json" - Correct 3."Hide extensions for known file types" is not available on Chrome.
- Saved AS UTF-8
- Created New Folder
- Check with "https://jsonlint.com/"
