On github I read : "Chrome Hosted Apps" in Supported Input Manifests but...

[ArfyFR]

But with a "generic"/example Chrome Hosted app like the one shown here https://developer.chrome.com/apps/first_app I mean with inside manifest.json

{
  "name": "Hello World!",
  "description": "My first Chrome App.",
  "version": "0.1",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "app": {
    "background": {
      "scripts": ["background.js"]
    }
  },
  "icons": { "16": "calculator-16.png", "128": "calculator-128.png" }
}

it seems not work. I get a

ERROR: Could open the manifest file.

(I am trying _manifoldjs -m _)

There is another option/argument for Chrome Hosted app ?

yep so you'll still need to pass in the URL, esiecially since chrome doesn't have it in the above manifest. So try manifoldjs http://www.mysite.com -m manifest.json

Thanks, but... I tried with my app and got an Error

So I tried with Google "hello world" sample: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-app-samples/tree/master/samples/hello-world

and same result: ERROR: Invalid manifest format.

I believe the manifest you mention is for a packaged app, not a hosted app and it's missing the launch URL. For example:

{
  "name": "Hello World!",
  "description": "My first Chrome App.",
  "version": "0.1",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "app": {
    "launch": {
       "web_url": "http://yourdomain.com/hello"
    }
  },
  "icons": { "16": "calculator-16.png", "128": "calculator-128.png" }
}

Hi, This mean ManifoldJS may only "convert" hosted app ?

[f2bo]

Correct. ManifoldJS generates hosted apps.

Ok thanks... =)
