electron-forge | complete tool for creating publishing | Runtime Evironment library

I would like to be able to open a deep link and take that protocol url and login with it. I have successfully got the electron app to open from the deep link but I can't seem to get the url or parameter from the deep link. I followed the tutorial from https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/launch-app-from-url-in-another-app but I wasn't able to get it to work on ubuntu. In the tutorial it when you open from deep link it opens a dialog box but the open-url listener isn't getting called. Is there something I am missing to getting the open-url to work on linux.

Heres my index.ts

When import 'semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.css' into a brand new Electron-Forge/Webpack5 project, I get the following:

How do I solve this error? where/how do I set those settings? I'm new to electron/react

Refused to connect to 'ws://localhost:3000/cpp' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "default-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' data:". Note that 'connect-src' was not explicitly set, so 'default-src' is used as a fallback.

I'm using electron + react and electron-forge build system. I've tried using this in froge.config.js:

I trying to build an electron with an exe installer on macOS with a MacBook Pro with an m1. I already tried different packages like electron-packager, electron-forge, but unfortunately, none of my tries worked. Did anyone has a solution to build an electron version with an exe on macOS. My latest approach looked like, but when I start and after more then 30 minute it still do no finish.

yarn run electron-forge make --arch=x64 --platform=win32

The current code could be found here.

I'm developing a chat application with Electron and would like to run two instances of the same Electron application to run concurrently for debugging purposes.

I used Electron Forge to instantiate the project, which uses port 3000 by default, and attempting to run the same application in another process leads to an address already in use error.

Did some research into this and saw approaches to run the client & application code on different ports, along with how to change the default port on Electron Forge.

I've thought about having the Electron app run on a randomly generated port number to avoid taking up the same port number, but curious whether there's a simpler way to do this.

Error message attached below:

I am trying to open a sqlite3 database encrypted with sqlcipher. I have the password and I could open it successfully using sqlitebrowser.

I started my project using this template. It is based on the electron-forge webpack plugin.

When I type yarn start, it creates a .webpack folder and all the compiled code goes in it. When I stop the terminal command, this folder disappears.

Then I wanted to use the package @journeyapps/sqlcipher to open my database, but this line is causing an error in the main process: const sqlite3 = require("@journeyapps/sqlcipher")

The error is: Error: Cannot find module '<>/.webpack/main/native_modules/lib/binding/napi-v6-linux-x64/node_sqlite3.node'

The package documentation says two things about using it with electron-forge:

1. make sure that the folder node_modules/@journeyapps/sqlcipher/lib/binding/napi-v6-linux-x64 exists -> yes it exists

2. Disable rebuilding of this library using the onlyModules option of electron-rebuild in your package.json "config": { "forge": { "electronRebuildConfig": { "onlyModules": [] // Specify other native modules here if required } } -> I did it, I added the lines of code

I still have the error, but I feel it can be solved "easily" (with a lot more understanding of webpack than I have). Indeed, a solution would be to move the folder binding/napi-v6-linux-x64 into .webpack each time I launch the app, right?

I tried to do electron-rebuild -f -w sqlite3, the rebuild succeeded but nothing happens, I still have the same error.

I am stuck here and cannot go further for my app, as it lays on reading this database. Should I start a new project and avoid using webpack? Do you have any example of a project where this package is successfully imported and used?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I have spent multiple days reading through tickets and documentation trying to find a solution to this issue and no suggestion has worked. It seems a major oversight or I'm a complete dummy.

Simply, what I want to do is access the electron api from within the application, for example I would like a button that one could click to close, resize etc. the window via the BrowserWindow object from within the render/preload scripts.

I am compiling it via electron forge w/ webpack from example repo provided by electron forge (as opposed to separate webpack), I have nodeIntegration: true, contextIsolation: false and enableRemoteModule: true, the package.json also has these options set.

This is the starting project I've used: https://www.electronforge.io/config/plugins/webpack

From reading other tickets the generally recommended way is to require the remote module via various methods, get the window object and close / execute your action. The issue being this always returns null when using:

• const remote = require('@electron/remote')
• const remote = require('electron').remote
• const { remote } = require('electron')

I've tried various sources but for example nothing in this ticket works: Atom Electron - Close the window with javascript

I also read this article that seems to say the remote module was deprecated and is no longer used, however the code in that doesn't work either: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@electron/remote

I have created a git repo with the code I'm trying to use: https://github.com/MajorFailz/electron-problem-example

Please help! I can't really continue development on my project using electron if I can't control the application from within the application. I'm perfectly happy to accept if I've been dumb somehow and missed something vital or fundamental, but as I say it feels like these are the first things any electron noobie would need to know but I'm lost =/

Bonus points if you can provide me a demonstrable example of it working I could look at.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: versions from package

I just set up a basic electron-react app by using electron-forge and adding React+webpack+typescript per instructions and it all works great (I haven't added anything beyond the basic setup). It compiles well with all green checkboxes.

However, when I hit the close button by mouse clicking the x in the top right, it shuts down but gives the following error:

I am using electron app.setLoginItemSettings(settings) to enable my application to autostart at login. This is how I am implementing it:
