So I am learning about Native messaging with chrome extension using Java. I got the following error while testing the app: Error when communicating with the native messaging host. I wasn't sure what was the problem or how can I track the error. Here's my checker.bat file:
@echo off
javac Test.java
java Test
Here's manifest.JSON:
{
"name": "host1",
"description": "Test",
"path": "checker.bat",
"type": "stdio",
"allowed_origins": [
"chrome-extension://eogmgkhgmdjkdhkfacckkjhmffnniiab/"
]
}
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Test t=new Test();
String to_process_string="";
try {
to_process_string = t.readMessage(System.in);
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
String final_output;
String output=to_process_string+" recieved";
final_output="{\"m\":\""+output+"\"}";
try {
t.sendMessage(final_output);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private String readMessage(InputStream in) throws IOException {
byte[] b = new byte[4];
in.read(b);
int size = getInt(b);
if (size == 0) {
throw new InterruptedIOException("Blocked communication");
}
b = new byte[size];
in.read(b);
return new String(b, "UTF-8");
}
private void sendMessage(String message) throws IOException {
System.out.write(getBytes(message.length()));
System.out.write(message.getBytes("UTF-8"));
System.out.flush();
}
public int getInt(byte[] bytes) {
return (bytes[3] << 24) & 0xff000000 | (bytes[2] << 16) & 0x00ff0000
| (bytes[1] << 8) & 0x0000ff00 | (bytes[0] << 0) & 0x000000ff;
}
public byte[] getBytes(int length) {
byte[] bytes = new byte[4];
bytes[0] = (byte) (length & 0xFF);
bytes[1] = (byte) ((length >> 8) & 0xFF);
bytes[2] = (byte) ((length >> 16) & 0xFF);
bytes[3] = (byte) ((length >> 24) & 0xFF);
return bytes;
}
} I am not pretty sure what might be the problem can u help me? Note: this is how I registered the key : REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\host1" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Users\Rex\Desktop\TestNative\Host\manifest.json" /f
EDIT: So i have tried to the JSON format as WoXxo suggested in comments but it still gave me the same error. I decided to log problems into the file but nothing was logging so I decided to connect keep the main function empty and see if it was a problem with the code or a connection problem. It turned out that it kept giving me the same results. Any idea what might be the problem?
