Question

This has been bugging me and I can’t figure out the solution.

 "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["chrome-extension://_MSG_@@extension_id/*"],
      "js": ["contentscript.js"]
    }
 ],

if i was to replace the “chrome-extensions://..” with a url such as http://google.com/* it will work.

I even tried fallowing the pattern on chrome develoeprs pag along with replacing extension id with the actual id.

I am basically trying to inject the content script into a local page “in the extension folder”

Sorry, but you aren’t meant to be able to inject content scripts into other extensions. The docs are wrong, I have reported this issue while ago.
