Question

This is the JavaScript code in the Chrome background.html.

var plugin = document.getElementById("reverbPlugin");
if (!plugin.startBackgroundThread()) {
        console.log("Failed to start background thread: " + plugin.getErrorMessage());
        return;
}

Here is the HTML part of it.

<embed type="application/x-reverbbrowserplugin" id="reverbPlugin"></embed>

The exception I’m getting on the JavaScript code is, TypeError - property_not_function.

My library (the BrowserPlugin.plugin file created after compiling the Firebreath project) is a non-fat binary for x86_64 arch on Mac OS X Lion.

Any ideas on why the function is not found by JavaScript? Am I missing something obvious?
(Let me know any more information is needed).

Thanks!

PS. I had a similar problem for Firefox plugin using JS-Ctypes, but was solved. I tried the similar approach on this one and tried different function names. Didn’t work.

Answer 1

I realized that you need to call registerMethod for that method name in your JSAPI object. That worked for me.
