electron 6.x is ok

pdanpdan · 2019-12-15T06:33:05Z

After you first run quasar build -m electron
Do a yarn. There is something that messes up the installed packages when electron-packager is installed.

JustSySy · 2019-12-19T08:36:59Z

hello，i have same problem
i find error is 'requer electron filed'
i change node_modules@quasar\app\lib\helpers\get-package.js to add log

`
const appPaths = require('../app-paths')
const logger = require('../helpers/logger')
const log = logger('app:getPackage')

module.exports = function (pkgName) {
try {
log(
require.resolve(pkgName, {
paths: [ appPaths.appDir ]
}))
return require(
require.resolve(pkgName, {
paths: [ appPaths.appDir ]
})
)
}
catch (e) {
log(e)
}
}

`

the log is

I know my mistake, I am from China, I can't download to electron (https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v7.1.6/electron-v7.1.6-win32-x64.zip).So the installation code of electron cannot generate path.txt. I manually downloaded the installation package of electron and modified the installation code of electron, and I successfully installed the electron...So I solved the problem

`

// downloads if not cached
downloadArtifact({
version,
artifactName: 'electron',
force: process.env.force_no_cache === 'true',
cacheRoot: process.env.electron_config_cache,
platform: process.env.npm_config_platform || process.platform,
arch: process.env.npm_config_arch || process.arch
}).then((zipPath) => {
extractFile(zipPath)
}).catch((err) => {
onerror(err)
})

extractFile('E:\demoSpace\quasar-dev\zhouyk-pc\node_modules\electron\electron-v7.1.6-win32-x64.zip') // 下载路径直接解压
// unzips and makes path.txt point at the correct executable
function extractFile (zipPath) {
extract(zipPath, { dir: path.join(__dirname, 'dist') }, function (err) {
if (err) return onerror(err)
fs.writeFile(path.join(__dirname, 'path.txt'), platformPath, function (err) {
if (err) return onerror(err)
})
})
}

node_modules\electron>node install.js

rstoenescu · 2019-12-19T10:20:49Z

Investigating why Windows fails.

rstoenescu · 2019-12-19T10:42:30Z

I need more details from the Windows devs pls (except for the download issue on China):

The exact sequence of terminal commands that lead to the issue.
Are you using yarn or npm?
What terminal are you using?
Are you on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)?

Thanks in advance.

cirolosapio · 2019-12-19T10:59:48Z

quasar create name & quasar dev -m electron
npm
Cmder
no

more info #5911

rstoenescu · 2019-12-19T11:28:57Z

Using the regular terminal (cmd.exe) I cannot reproduce the issue. Sequence:

$ quasar create testapp
$ cd testapp
$ quasar mode add electron
$ quasar dev -m electron

rstoenescu · 2019-12-19T11:58:41Z

More info on my part: tested with both npm and yarn, Nodejs v12. No issues.

bastijr · 2019-12-19T16:23:52Z

1.quasar create name & quasar dev -m electron
2.yarn
3.conEmu
4.no
5.electron-packager is installed

hugetiny · 2019-12-19T16:54:43Z

This problem is due to China Networks
I tried to download the file and extract to dist folder directly like @JustSySy do and solved this problem.

TobiasTao · 2019-12-20T05:11:43Z

environment:

windows 10 1909
node 12.14.0
yarn 1.21.0

steps:

accord to electron/electron#20739 (comment)
change .yarnrc: electron_mirror=https "//cdn.npm.taobao.org/dist/electron/"
then run quasar mode add electron
it seens that I installed electron7 successful now:

however , run quasar dev -m electron ，electron window is not open:

electron is running in the background:

rstoenescu · 2019-12-20T06:09:07Z

If it’s running in the background then it’s an Electron issue, not a Quasar one. We can’t do anything about it if the Electron executable misbehaves. Please report this to their team. Thanks.

TobiasTao · 2019-12-20T08:43:29Z

but I can run electron-quick-start without problem:

zry2020 · 2020-01-03T10:09:34Z

I seem to have the same problem.
I'm from China, and I solved the problem by reading this article:
https://segmentfault.com/a/1190000020890483?utm_source=tag-newest

When downloading electron@7.* through Taobao mirror, the download URL has the wrong "v".
like:https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/v7.1.7/electron-v7.1.7-darwin-x64.zip
The right url is:https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/7.1.7/electron-v7.1.7-darwin-x64.zip
The solution was to set a custom dir using cross-env:

npm install -g cross-env
cross-env npm_config_electron_mirror="https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/" npm_config_electron_custom_dir="7.1.7" npm install electron@7.1.7

Sorry for machine translation, and hope that helps

hugetiny · 2020-01-03T10:34:56Z

@exchump Thank you very much.This solution solved my problem

yangfei2013 · 2020-06-10T10:04:37Z

I am in China.
pc : windows10 1607
1、set c:/users/administrator/.npmrc

`
registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org

sass_binary_site=https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/node-sass/

phantomjs_cdnurl=http://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/phantomjs

electron_mirror=http://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/

electron_custom_dir=7.1.14
`

2、delete node_modules/electron/ directory.
3、run 'npm install' at the command line of project's directory.

if 'electron' installed successfully,you can find the electron zip file downloaded at :
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\electron\Cache\httpnpm.taobao.orgmirrorselectron7.1.14electron-v7.1.14-win32-x64.zip\

hope it works.

TobiasTao · 2020-06-11T01:09:01Z

@yangfei2013 maybe you should modify electron_mirror， it works for v8 and v9 of electron
