nodejs example not working?

[mrohnstock]

OS: Ubuntu 14.10 x86_64 nodejs: nodejs 0.12.0 or iojs 1.3.0 node-thrust: v0.7.6-rc.1

The example in README.md for nodejs

require('node-thrust')(function(err, api) { 
  api.window({ root_url: 'https://breach.cc' }).show();
});

starts thrust, but won't display the requested url (just a blank site). Also adding some flags (for example set_kiosk) to window won't get executed:

require('node-thrust')(function(err, api) { 
  api.window({ root_url: 'https://breach.cc', set_kiosk: true }).show();
});

Am I missing something? Thanks :)

breach.cc doesn't seem to be listening on the https port (it hangs in a normal browser too). Try a different URL.

Thanks @hoytech using a different url works :). set_kiosk still won't get executed.

Some things like dev tools and kiosk mode will only work after the window has already been shown so you need to do it in this order:

require('node-thrust')(function(err, api) {
  var w = api.window({ root_url: 'http://google.ca' });
  w.show();
  w.set_kiosk(true);
});

Thanks so much :) - works.
