"Unexpected token in JSON at position 51" when running inside packaged Electron app

[linusthiel]

We are using PouchDB-browser inside an Electron packaged app.

• We package it for Windows, as an exe, using electron-packager.
• We have two pouch dbs, one synced with a couch server and one local (just mapping ids to yet another local db)
• When running it with electron . i.e. not packaged in an exe, everything works fine
• When running it as the packaged Windows exe, the local (mapping) db throws "Unexpected token in JSON at position 51", i.e. is sending some garbage data when we do db.get(id)
• Both running on the same system
• The app is using the same dbs in "dev-mode" as in packaged mode
• We paused the app in the debugger, and ran db.allDocs which worked fine
• We detroyed the db and it is still throwing the same error on db.get, so it seems to be (at least) the 404 error having a problem.

We tried to reconfigure it to use different databases. It still gives the same error in the packaged Electron, when we do db.get(id).

Electron version 1.4.15 win32-ia32.
PouchDB-browser version 6.1.1
Windows 10

So this only happens on Windows, but it happens in multiple adapters - IndexedDB, WebSQL, etc.? I'm wondering if it's a bug in Chromium for Windows.

Can you provide a small test case to reproduce, e.g. a sample project?

I haven't tried WebSQL but I will. It's some weird thing definitely because it worked before, and we're not sure what has changed. Will try to make a test case when I get a minute to work on it!
