I am trying to create a new extension. I was able to use the chrome.runtime.sendMessage function a while back but right now, I have tried everything and it still is not able to send the message to the background script. The console is getting populated with the log messages from the content-script.js but not from the background.js

content-script.js

console.log(Hello World!s);

$(document).ready(function() {

    console.log(DOM READY!);

    $(document.documentElement).keydown(function (e) {

        console.log(Key Has Been Pressed!);

        chrome.runtime.sendMessage({Message: getTextFile}, function (response) {

                if (response.fileData) {

                    alert(Contents Of Text File = );

                }

                else {

                    console.log(No Response Received);

                }

            })



    })

});

background.js

console.log(Atleast reached background.js)

        chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener (

            function (request, sender, sendResponse) {

                console.log(Reached Background.js);

                if (request.Message == getTextFile) {

                    console.log(Entered IF Block);

                        $.get(http://localhost:8000/quicklyusercannedspeechbucket/helloWorld1, function(response) {

                    console.log(response);

                    sendResponse({fileData: response})

                })

            }

            else {

                console.log(Did not receive the response!!!)

            }

        }

    );

manifest.json

{

  manifest_version: 2,

  name: My Cool Extension,

  version: 0.1,

  content_scripts: [ {

    all_frames: true,

    js: [ jquery-2.1.4.min.js, content-script.js ],

    matches: [ http://*/*, https://*/*, file://*/* ]

  } ],

  permissions: [ http://*/*, https://*/*, storage ],

  background: {

    scripts: [

      jquery-2.1.4.min.js,

      background.js

    ]

  }

}

Any help is appreciated :)

Thanks!
