No handler found for post message, using in chrome extension about post-robot HOT 3 OPEN

This is due to the fact that both the content script and the page script of a Chrome extension share the same window, but not the same global variables (see the content scripts documentation).

In your case, when post-robot sends back the result by using postMessage on the event source, the message is first handled by the content script window, on which the listener that was specifically registered to handle it is not accessible, resulting in the error you mentioned.

Not sure if there is any (general) work-around for this (after encountering this I ended up directly using postMessage and addEventListener - in a much less readable fashion), but I would definitely be interested if that could be the case!

Also interested! But even with the snippet from above what it weird is that the injected_script does indeed get the callback with the result from the listener in the content_script but then throw 3 times both (so 6 errors):

• Uncaught Error: No handler found for post message ack for message: message from
• Uncaught Error: No handler found for post message response for message: message from

What I don't understand is that still, if my injected_script has a button which fire a postRobot.send, it still works each time, but message above seems to say that the listener is not alive anymore whichs feels like a bug given that it still works.

@angela-tran discovered that this was due to the Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy header being set to same-origin by our server. Not sure if relevant, but sharing just in case.
