evalNWBin() not working in 0.16.1?

[ghost]

I wanted to update the NW.js version in my app to make use of the new Chrome App functions, so I replaced the NW.js SDK and converted my .js files to bin using the new nwjc

When I ran the app though, no error or problems but seemed like Javascript was... disabled or something. So with further tests, I saw that evalNWBin() was simply not working.

I made a small sample to make sure that was the case and it seems the line,
nw.Window.get().evalNWBin(null, "bins/test.bin");
is never executed

Here is the file, just drop it in your 0.16.1 SDK folder and run nw.exe

edit: Googling the issue seems I've found another user with the same issue too here

@alexandervrs Did you see this issue when DevTools is open? It's a known issue #3388.

The reason is that v8 won't load the serialized code blob when debugger is attached: https://github.com/nwjs/v8/blob/nw12/src/compiler.cc#L1291

I am using the SDK version of NW.js. I am not sure if the Dev Tools were open, but I believe it didn't work even if they were closed. I've since, just loaded the scripts with regular <script src> and then it works.

@alexandervrs I can't reproduce this issue with both 0.16.1 or 0.17.0 on both Mac and Windows. I'm closing this bug until we can figure out a way to reproduce.
