browser.alarms not available in background?

[cchance27]

In webextensions-polyfill i can use

browser.alarms.create("alarm1", { periodInMinutes: 0.1 });

and

browser.alarms.onAlarm.addListener((alarm) => { })

to trigger periodic events but this seems to not work in WXT am i missing something, as i cant figure out a way to do periodic events from background like opening a tab to execute a script.

if i try to console.log(browser.alarms) even it's showing as undefined which doesn't make sense because in vscode i'm seeing the typecompletion for it but for some reason it seems the WXT side doesn't work.

Add the alarms permission to your manifest

HAHAHA your right, for some reason, i was being dumb and forgot that you had to opt-in to allowing alarms! Thanks!
