Errors when running 0.3.0

[michaelb-01]

I've just tried running 0.3.0 and I get various errors. I haven't successfully got meteor-desktop working yet so i'm not sure what ive done wrong..

So, as per the instructions on the github readme I ran the following in one tab

meteor --mobile-server=127.0.0.1:3000
Then in a second tab I ran:

npm run desktop -- --scaffold

The first warning i get is:

!expecting a meteor project running on port 3000!

Another warning:

warn: [main] will use desktop.asar from initial version because last downloaded version is using it: /Users/michaelbattcock/Documents/dev/apps/pipe/.meteor/desktop-build/desktop.asar

Then I get some errors:

2017-01-10 21:45:45.357 Electron Helper[15931:1046717] Couldn't set selectedTextBackgroundColor from default ()

And when electron opens I get the following error:

The selector "app" did not match any elements

Even though it is declared and it works fine when I run the app normally in localhost.
Any ideas what i've done wrong?

!expecting a meteor project running on port 3000!

That is just a reminder. Actually yeah, with those exclamation marks it looks like a warning or sth - will change it.

warn: [main] will use desktop.asar from initial version because last downloaded version is using it: /Users/michaelbattcock/Documents/dev/apps/pipe/.meteor/desktop-build/desktop.asar

This should a be a info not warn - will be fixed.

[main] autoUpdater reported an error: Error: Could not get code signature for running application

electron/electron#7476 - unsigned apps (development app is unsigned) can not be auto updated. I will think of disabling this in development build on Mac. In the meantime you can use "autoUpdateCheckOnStart": false to get rid of this error.

error: [main] Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, open '/Users/michaelbattcock/Documents/dev/apps/pipe/.meteor/desktop-build/meteor.asar/app/desktop.asar'

Please post full log from the app start to this error's occurrence.

The selector "app" did not match any elements

Was this working before in 0.2.6? Do you see any errors in the console? In the Network tab of devtools are there any files that failed to load?

[michaelb-01]

I've never actually got meteor desktop working, I was getting different errors in 0.2.6 so I was waiting for 0.3.0.

Here's my full console output:

The I get the following in the electron console:

The selector "app" did not match any elements

And I get the following in a pop-up window with the options to 'shutdown' or 'restart'

ENOTDIR: not a directory, open '/Users/michaelbattcock/Documents/dev/apps/pipe/.meteor/desktop-build/meteor.asar/app/desktop.asar'

[michaelb-01]

I can't access the network tab in the dev tools as its greyed out (maybe because of the pop-up window)

[wojtkowiak]

Please try out 0.4.0. That version should at least get you to the point where you will be able to debug the situation in the devtools.

[michaelb-01]

I've just tried 0.4.0 and I no longer get any errors in the terminal but I do get the following in electron's console:

No base href set. Please provide a value for the APP_BASE_HREF token or add a base element to the document.

But I do have href set as such in my index.html:

<head>
  <base href="/">
</head>

I also tried this but I get the same errors:

<head>
  <base href="./">
</head>

[michaelb-01]

I've added the following to my app.module.ts

import { APP_BASE_HREF } from '@angular/common';

....
  providers: [
    { provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: '/' }
  ]
....

So that gets rid of the href error but now i'm getting:

The selector "app" did not match any elements (my main component has 'app' as its selector)....

[wojtkowiak]

That is rather unrelated to meteor-desktop
Basically angular tried to start the app before it has fully loaded. On cordova it also did not work.

I have submitted a fix here:
michaelb-01/pipe#3

[michaelb-01]

Hi, I tried your fix but now the app never loads.. My index.html loads fine with no errors but my router-outlet is empty...

[wojtkowiak]

but my router-outlet is empty...

I do not know angular so I am not sure what that means. I have exactly the same result in both Firefox and Desktop app.
What should I do with your app to experience the same problem?

[michaelb-01]

Sorry stupid mistake by me, it works perfectly, thank you so much! (i'll try out loading files from the local file system asap)

[wojtkowiak]

Any more problems? Maybe I can close this, and you will report new issues if any occur?
