Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to fetch

libs/commonlibrary/commonLibrary.js:1 (anonymous function)

...followed by a dump of data which I will not post here for fear that it has security implications...

Hello, version 2.0.2 of autofill is not working properly on Linux.

I notice that, if the app is set up for the first time it is working, until you will not connect to your account.

Once connected and synced the loading is constantly present in the shortcut.

You can't enter any settings as well.

Here are some logs I have gathered:

When I tried to access service worker I get error with some libraries:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to fetch at commonLibrary.js:1:71986 at commonLibrary.js:1:72207 at Object.initialize (background.js:10:51373) at background.js:44:1378153 at Function.value (background.js:10:278111) at n (background.js:44:77507) at background.js:44:79056 at Function.value (background.js:10:278111) at background.js:10:238174 at background.js:10:178191

And additionally:

When I try to open my generated profile, I get blank screen. I turn on Developer mode and get error and warnings:

 backgroundWrapper.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist. management.js:51 Some icons were re-registered. Applications should only call registerIcons for any given icon once. Redefining what an icon is may have unintended consequences. Duplicates include: GlobalNavButton, ChevronDown, ChevronUp, Edit, Add, Cancel, More, Settings, Mail, Filter (+ 12603 more) Moreover on the extension ID when management.html is loading I get: chrome-extension://*****************************/management/management.html <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <link id="brooklynfavicon" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/jpg" href="../assets/icons/icon_128.png" /> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge"> <style> body { height: calc(100vh); margin: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif !important; } * { box-sizing: border-box; } #work { height: 100%; width: 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <noscript> You need to enable JavaScript to run this extension. </noscript> <div id="work"></div> <script src="management.js"></script> </body> </html>

I have the same issue. I am using an Ubuntu based OS, have Chrome version 115.0.5790.102 (Official Build) (64-bit).

This is from the Dev-tools:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.

Well, multiple users have had these problems for months now with the chrome extension. I guess that the lack of response on here from Microsoft or anyone else means that the Autofill extension has been left for dead. I thought MS had intentions to extend this product further for it to become a credential wallet, but obviously not. For me, MS Autofill is no longer a viable choice. Moving to bitwarden or 1password.

Even after uninstalling the plugin, re-installing and forcing a sync to recover the 'lost' passwords temporarily, any attempt to export the recovered data appears to fail.
