Issue
This Content is from Stack Overflow. Question asked by Ali Shefaee
I have an electron
that also run an express
app.
in development
mode everything works fine but after deployment and install app, express routes is not working.
//package.json
{
"build": {
"extraResources": [
"./extraResources/**"
]
},
"main": "main.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "electron .",
"build": "electron-builder -w",
"build:gyp": "node-gyp rebuild"
},
"devDependencies": {
"electron": "^20.1.4",
"electron-builder": "^23.3.3",
"node-gyp": "^9.1.0"
},
}
//main.js
// Modules to control application life and create native browser window
const {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron')
const path = require('path')
let server = require('./nodejs/server'); // this is express app
function createWindow () {
const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
width: 800,
height: 600,
webPreferences: {
preload: path.join(__dirname, 'preload.js')
}
})
mainWindow.loadFile(path.join( __dirname, '/front/index.html'));
mainWindow.on('closed', () => app.quit());
// Open the DevTools.
// mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools()
}
// This method will be called when Electron has finished
// initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
// Some APIs can only be used after this event occurs.
app.whenReady().then(() => {
createWindow()
app.on('activate', function () {
// On macOS it's common to re-create a window in the app when the
// dock icon is clicked and there are no other windows open.
if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) createWindow()
})
})
I see with console.log()
that express
app is running in dev
mode correctly.
but in production
all apis fails
