How to fix Unchecked runtime lastError Could not establish connection Receiving end does not exist

Question

Whenever I load any page of my node application I am getting this error:

Unchecked runtime.lastError: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist

Does someone have any idea on this issue? I want to know how to overcome this issue.

What you have to do is to handle window.chrome.runtime.lastError in the runtime.sendMessage callback. Just use this code and it will handle that error.

window.chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
      EXTENSION_ID,
      { message:"---" }, // jsonable message
      (result) => {
        if (!window.chrome.runtime.lastError) {
           // message processing code goes here
        } else {
          // error handling code goes here
        }
      }
    );
  });

I hope this helps you.
