There is no "message" element for key extName.

chaosink commented 9 years ago

I used chromeos-apk to generate an app, but when I load it, chrome always said "There is no 'message' element for key extName." and the loading failed. Then I compared the app I generated with the demo 2048, and I found the difference in appname/_locales/en/messages.json: there isn't the sentence " 'message':'app.name' ". So I add it to the file and the load succeeded. Is there something imperfect in the program?

Maybe you forgot a ',' at the end of line 8.

The log said the error happened in line 8. You'd bettet show line 8 in your screenshot. : )

for flipboard, this was the extName key in appname/_locals/en/messages.json.

"extName": {
    "description": "Extension name"
  }

I fixed the error by adding the key 'message': "Extension name".

"extName": {
    "description": "Extension name",
    "message": "Flipboard"
  }

You can also change 'Extension name' to whatever you want, and that is what will show up as the app name in chrome and the app launcher.

This whole extName key was added by the chromeos-apk program, so I am assuming it is a bug. It should be an easy fix, so I might make a pull request later. It depends on how ChromeOS handles this key, compared to linux, which I'm on right now.

I have the same issue.... I added the "message" key (used from the "name" key in manifest.json), but when i run the app, it start the emulator, have a blackscreen for 0.5 sec, then the program just ends...

I tried this on 2 different apps, with same results....
