Description: Getting error: “Service worker registration failed” , "background": { "service_worker": "background.js" }, is highlighted in the error. When I build for production, the error goes away. I think it has to do with all of the code that this library adds to the background.js file when it is output.

This is from my config file:

      // Chrome extension hot reloading.
      isEnvDevelopment &&
        new ChromeExtensionReloader({
          reloadPage: true, // Force the reload of the page also
          entries: {
            // The entries used for the content/background scripts
            background: "background",
            contentScript: "content-script", // Use the entry names, not the file name or the path
          },
        }),
    ].filter(Boolean),

I am experiencing same issue. It’s because it injects the “webpack-extension-reloader” code in compiled background.js. That prevents the service worker from working.

Thanks makes sense!
