Stopped working some time mid-day 2020-04-08

Some time today (2020-04-08, US Eastern time), the extension version of this userscript stopped working.

Reposting from stgeorgesepiscopal/google-meet-grid-view-extension#13 where I was suggested to post here, since that extension just wraps a copy of this user script via a git submodule

I think something must have changed on the google meet site, as this extension was working earlier today, but now it's not working at all -- it doesn't add its button to the meet UI, and clicking the grid toggle in the extension itself doesn't do anything any more.

There's an error in my dev console that I think is coming from this extension:

Error in event handler: TypeError: Cannot read property 'click' of undefined
    at chrome-extension://bjkegbgpfgpikgkfidhcihhiflbjgfic/js/inject.js:41:64

Which corresponds to ... code I can't find in this repo?

// ...
injectScript(chrome.runtime.getURL('js/google-meet-grid-view/grid.user.js'));

//injectScript(chrome.runtime.getURL('js/messaging.js'));
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(
    function(request, sender, sendResponse) {
        
        let gridOn = !!document.getElementsByClassName('__gmgv-vid-container').length
        let showOnlyVideo = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('gmgv-show-only-video'))
        let highlightSpeaker = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('gmgv-highlight-speaker'))
        let includeOwnVideo = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('gmgv-include-own-video'))
        console.log(localStorage)

        if(request.hasOwnProperty('startup')){
            console.log('init')
        } else if(request.hasOwnProperty('toggleGrid')){
            document.getElementsByClassName('__gmgv-button')[0].click()
            // ^^^ this line ^^^
// ...

I have version 2020.4.7 installed currently.

2020.4.7 of that extension I believe maps to commit bef6bff here. That's not the latest, but the commit log from that to current HEAD of master doesn't look like it has any functional changes, only translation changes.

Can confirm this situation. It seems like whatever is causing the issue might be in the process of rolling out (from Google)? It's not working for about 9/10 people in all my classes today including teachers reporting it not working. But to be specific: there are still 1-2 people that have it working per class.

On more digging, this was an error with the extension and not the user script itself. Closing.

This was on me, Chris. Sorry!
