Love this! When I run npm start it works, but when I package for installation it doesn't... #3

Hello. Love this project! I've got it working great when I type npm start on OSX, but when I package it into an app, by moving the files into the app folder within the .app, the app launches the window and says "Not Found - The requested resource /index.php was not found on the server". Any idea what's wrong? Or do you have any directions on how to package into an app properly? Thank you so much!

aj-techsoul commented 6 years ago

@ryanpamplin i think the problem is having because the server is not running or something. Try to run the app and in browser open "localhost:55555" and if there also same thing happening then maybe some other reason

still i will check from my end.

I checked it and found that server is running but not looking for file on folder and its looking file on Document root is /Users/[username] So i am trying to make it on app folder. Give me some time.

Thanks so much for figuring that out. I'm really excited to use this!

Issue fixed. Problem was it was taking the home directory as a Server directory. So i have fixed that but in order to fix it while packaging you need to use --asar=false which i have already made a script for packager. just type

npm run package-mac

and it will package your mac without asar and also replace the icons with your app icons. before running the above code, you must install package-installer

# for use in npm scripts
npm install electron-packager --save-dev

# for use from cli
npm install electron-packager -g

Thanks @ryanpamplin for showing me this issue. 🥇 :) (Kindly close the issue, if you are satisfied )

I'm so incredibly satisfied! You've created something that'll be a very good replacement for PHP-Desktop (Windows only) and Nightrain, which hasn't been developed in years. This is exactly what I was looking for and I'm so thrilled to have found it. I think your project will be very popular!

Thank you again, so much!

One more thing @AJ-TechSoul... I just packaged my app and it works! I did see a warning in the terminal that says "WARNING: asar parameter set to an invalid value (false), ignoring and disabling asar". I searched around and found https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager/issues/698. You may want to specify --no-asar instead of --asar=false.

Thanks @ryanpamplin i will do the changes right now. Thanks again. I am working on making it work on windows and linux also in the way it works on mac. So i will need some time :)
