I am making a chrome extension and it needs to download a file that has been created using blob I tried this (Making a Chrome Extension download a file):

var aFilePart = ['<a id="a"><b id="b">Hi :) !</b></a>'];
var blob = new Blob(aFilePart, {type : 'text/html'});
var url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);

chrome.downloads.download({
  url: url 
});

But I get no download going. Help?

Are you sure you've set the `"download"` permission in your *manifest.json*? Where are you calling this? From bg or content script? – Kaiido Nov 23 '17 at 02:00
Yes i did add Download to the manifest and i called it from popup.js – Rex Nov 23 '17 at 02:13
I think you've got to call it from background scripts – Kaiido Nov 23 '17 at 02:16
That's it ! Thanks a lot ! – Rex Nov 23 '17 at 02:21
