Inspected target disconnected

I keep getting this issue with latest version of electron 0.36.0. Latest electron build cannot be use with large projects which include requirejs and a lot of bower components. See screenshot, black window it's electron, this happens on both OSX and Windows

[zcbenz]

We have a few crashes in 0.36.0, they have been fixed on master branch and will be included in next release.

[paul-piro]

Ok thanks hope this one will be fixed too

I am still getting inspector crashes on 0.36.4, should I file another bug?

[alistairheath]

I am having this issue with 0.36.4 and have narrowed it down to being caused by the serialport module. Unfortunately this a pretty vital part of the application so I can't remove it. Any suggestions? Thanks guys.

This issue is still persistent in win32 v0.36.7 (IA32), but is seemingly absent in the win32 x64 version.

Issue persistent on windows 10-32 Bit using v0.36.7 electron-prebuilt

[filmerjarred]

Can confirm on windows10-64bit v0.36.7 electron-prebuilt.

Might be an unrelated issue, but narrowed it down to a weird place in my code, basically anytime a property of the global 'location' object is accessed using the 'load' module it crashes the program.

require('load').compiler("console.log(location.hostname)"); //Crashes electron

require('load').compiler("console.log(document.URL)"); //Works fine

require('load').compiler("console.log(location)"); //Works fine

eval("location.hostname"); //Works fine

Issue persistent on Arch Linux using v0.36.8 electron-prebuilt

Also encountered this on Arch Linux using v0.36.8 electron-prebuilt

Updated to electron-prebuilt@0.37.2. Still facing this issue in addition to black-screen..

[venomlust]

electron-prebuilt@0.37.2 same issue, after a few seconds instancing (my case Howler.js) and saving into another variable electron freeze and show black screen

[frenchbread]

Well, it seems that there is no black screen issue for me anymore. It took me to rewrite the whole application to figure out the issue.

First of all the app architecture is quite important if this is a multi-window app (like in my case).
But most importantly, after I've updated electron-prebuilt to version a 0.37.2 I forgot to change --version option in my build script. Referring to docs, this option is not required, but still.

So now, build scripts look like this:

"scripts": {
    "start": "electron app.js",
    "build-darwin": "electron-packager . appname --platform=darwin --arch=x64 --version=0.37.2 --ignore=node_modules/electron-*",
    "build-win32": "electron-packager . appname --platform=win32 --arch=x64 --version=0.37.2 --ignore=node_modules/electron-*"
}

App builds work well on both MacOSX & Windows 10.

electron-prebuilt@0.37.2 now works like a charm. I'm on Arch Linux x64.

Still have that problem on electron 1.0.0 ;/

[jaycliff]

It seems like this issue is electron-specific (or perhaps chromium-specific), since the latest version of Chrome (51.0.2704.84) doesn't exhibit this behaviour. I am using howler.js (v2 beta) to load up some audio files in my project which somehow triggers the issue, but doesn't happen at all in Chrome.
