Im trying to send message to Background, and as well receive back to content script.
This is my content_script.js
init();
function init() {
function notifyBackgroundPage(event) {
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(chromeExtID, {
greeting: "Greeting from the content script"
});
}
window.addEventListener("click", notifyBackgroundPage);
// accept messages from background
// below line addListener is undefined
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function backgroundListener(request, sender, sendResponse) {
console.log("BgExt.js says: " + request);
});
}
BgExt.js
define([], function GmailExt() {
return {
start: function () {
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(
function (request, sender, sendResponse) {
console.log('inside response');
// to send back your response to the current tab
chrome.tabs.query({active: true, currentWindow: true}, function (tabs) {
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabs[0].id, {farewell: response}, function (response) {
});
});
return true;
}
);
}
};
});
This GmailExt file is loaded inside all.js (while all.js is inserted in index.html)

document.getElementById("logoMessage").innerText = nls.simple_secure_text;
var host = new Server();
//if app and not extension
chrome.browserAction && chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function() {
Deferred.when(kernel.onInit(), function () {
host.appManager.showShell();
});
return true;
});
BgExt.start();
});
