How to redirect url chrome-extension?

Question

I'm using Google Developer Console and Oauth to develop a chrome extension so that user can login by google account.But I can not redirect to url like this

chrome-extension://<id>.

So how can this be solved ?

Answer 1

I know this is an older question, but I wondered too. You have to use the built in chrome API for accessing your extension's HTML.

chrome.extension.getURL('options.html')

Answer 2

Send redirect url from a content script to a background page:

chrome.extension.sendRequest({redirect: "http://redirect"});

In a background page update tab's url which would cause redirect:

chrome.extension.onRequest.addListener(function(request, sender) {
    chrome.tabs.update(sender.tab.id, {url: request.redirect});
});
