I came up with a workaround for this, until it's properly implemented.
It's simple enough to read the version number from the extension's own
manifest.json:
chrome.extension.getVersion = function() {
if (!chrome.extension.version_) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", chrome.extension.getURL('manifest.json'), false);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4) {
var manifest = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
chrome.extension.version_ = manifest.version;
}
};
xhr.send();
}
return chrome.extension.version_;
};
I haven't tested it thoroughly but it seems to work for me, when
placed in the background page JS.
