Extension name is returned as undefined (Vue)

[haltcase]

installExtension's promise resolution returns name as undefined, at least for the Vue devtools. This is on the latest 1.1.4 installer / 1.2.4 electron combo, using the exported Vue ID method.

I'm not entirely sure why either, electron returns it from addDevToolsExtension which pulls it from the extension's manifest.json name field. I checked the manifest and it has a valid name field, also confirmed by the fact that electron will log a message Attempted to load extension "Vue.js devtools" that has already been loaded. so it does have the name.

My guess is it either has something to do with async which I'm very new to, or that addDevToolsExtension returns differently depending on context ( remote or not ).

Recreate:

import installExtension, { VUEJS_DEVTOOLS } from 'electron-devtools-installer';

installExtension(VUEJS_DEVTOOLS)
  .then(name => console.log(`Added Extension:  ${name}`));

// -> Added Extension: undefined

Is this from the main process or the renderer process?

Also, although it returns undefined, does it correctly add the extension?

[haltcase]

Main process, and it adds the extension just fine.

I can't replicate the undefined issue.

// This method will be called when Electron has finished
  // initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
  app.on('ready', () => {
    installExtension.default(installExtension.VUEJS_DEVTOOLS)
      .then((name) => {
        console.log('Added: ', name);
        mainWindow = new BrowserWindow();
        mainWindow.openDevTools();

        mainWindow.center();

        // and load the index.html of the app.
        mainWindow.loadURL(`http://todomvc.com/examples/react`);

        // Emitted when the window is closed.
        mainWindow.on('closed', () => {
          // Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows
          // in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time
          // when you should delete the corresponding element.
          mainWindow = null;
        });
      })
      .catch((err) => console.log('An error occurred: ', err));
  });

Can you post minimum sample code that causes the issue

[haltcase]

Sure I'll try to narrow it down when I get some time.
