Chrome Angular Unchecked runtime.lastError: The message port closed before a response was received

Issue

I am getting the following error in Chrome on Mac (Version 71.0.3578.98) while accessing my angular app:

targets/showTargetsByStream:1 Unchecked runtime.lastError: The message port closed before a response was received.

My app is accessing REST api hosted by a node express server.

Above error is coming for every page, like navigating to new URL within the app.

Also noticed that Safari is not throwing above error.

Appreciate any help in resolving this error.

Solution

I've experienced the same problem and noticed that it depends on running extensions.

Try disabling them (or you can use incognito mode if your settings do not allow extensions) to check if this is the cause. If so, you can enable them one by one and identify the guilty one.

In my case it was the Pinterest extension that causes the issue.
