Comms broken since beta.3

[DBTaylor]

Using tauri 1.0.0-beta.3 (or beta.4 or beta.5), invoke is throwing an error, and events triggered in the backend are not being emitted in the frontend. I've had to revert to beta.1 to get everything to work (couldn't seem to get beta.2 to build).

The issue doesn't occur when I run tauri dev, only in the release build.

window.emit is returning Ok(). invoke returns ReferenceError: __TAURI_INVOKE_KEY__ is not defined.

try

1. remove target folder
2. run cargo update in src-tauri
3. build your app

try

1. remove `target` folder

2. run `cargo update` in `src-tauri`

3. build your app

just tried this, but I still have the issue

[amrbashir]

can you provide a minimal repro ?

Internally invoke now requires the use of the __TAURI_INVOKE_KEY__ which is a random string injected into an IIFE or ESM at runtime. By doing this manually, you are not passing in that private value.

[amrbashir]

The comms are working fine. I didn't see any errors related to __TAURI_INVOKE_KEY__ and the reason why your front-end shows Ok: undefined is because your test function in src-tauri/src/main.rs doesn't return anything if you change it to something like this, it will work.

#[tauri::command]
fn test(window: Window) -> String {
	println!("test");
 	"test".into()
} 

Note: the repo had a typescript errors due to @tauri-apps/api package (which is fixed in dev and will be available in the next release), so I had to remove the typescript files from node_modules/@tauri-apps/api, and with this your front-end builds fine.

@amrbashir, did the comms work fine for you in the release build? The "Ok: undefined" is expected, but only shows up for me in dev. In release I get the error.

I also saw the typescript error and fixed it locally. I didn't have an issue building after fixing it.

What do you mean by "by doing this manually"? I'm attempting to use the invoke function, and getting this exception in the release build. Is there some other mechanism to send commands?

[nothingismagick]

@lucasfernog - am I mistaken, or is the __TAURI_INVOKE_KEY__ injection not needed when invoke("myFunc") is called?

[lucasfernog]

The injection is handled by the tauri protocol. I'll check this repo today.

[DBTaylor]

@nothingismagick I think whatever sets TAURI_INVOKE_KEY is failing in my release build for some reason. The invoke function is attempting to use it, but it doesn't exist.

[amrbashir]

I can confirm it happens on release.
