GCM register has failed

[RaimisJ]

Hi,

Works as expected in development. However, if I package it using electron-packager, I get this error (on ipcRenderer.send(START_NOTIFICATION_SERVICE, 'correct id'))

Register request has failed with Error=PHONE_REGISTRATION_ERROR Retry... 1 <retries 5 times, then> Register request has failed with Error=PHONE_REGISTRATION_ERROR PUSH_RECEIVER:::Error while starting the service Error: GCM register has failed

What could be the problem?

[RaimisJ]

The problem is with webpack - it does not copy .proto files and also when UglyfyJS is applied somehow the code stops working.

Hey @RaimisJ, how to fix this?

Thanks.

[RaimisJ]

In my case, this problem entirely depended on my configuration:

1. In my configuration I had to swap "webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin" with "uglifyjs-webpack-plugin", as the former produces unexpected results.
2. Also, my configuration produces single electron.js file while packing, but it does not bundle proto files. So I copy them myself: shell.cp(path.join(__dirname, '../node_modules/push-receiver/src/client/mcs.proto'), targetPath) shell.cp(path.join(dirname, '../node_modules/push-receiver/src/gcm/android_checkin.proto'), targetPath) shell.cp(path.join(dirname, '../node_modules/push-receiver/src/gcm/checkin.proto'), targetPath)

Thanks @RaimisJ

I'm also encountering this problem, however my .proto files are properly copied to my build dir. It works perfectly when compiled with webpack, it however fails with the same error mentioned above when packing the code with electron-builder. Any ideas?

[ream88]

@RaimisJ what is targetPath in your config? The output folder of webpack?

[RaimisJ]

@ream88 in the end, I ended up using not bundled node_modules folders. Only then it works correctly in all cases.

[ream88]

@RaimisJ Yeah, not using webpack and bundling the files helped! However now I need more and more features provided via webpack like for example its DefineWebpack plugin, and I'm stuck again 😞

@ream88 I think you have the issue as #32

This works for me
