Blank page after build - Githubissues

Jericho1060 commented 10 months ago

Hi, I made a small test of this package and when developing, I don't have any trouble with it.

The problem is each time after the build, when starting the .exe that is generated, I still have a blank page, and it seems CSS and JS files are not loading. It's remembering me the old baseHref trouble with electron, but I can't figure how to fix it.

It's searching for files in c:\ and not in the app directory

I made it with the quick start example in the repo here.

cd ./examples/quick-start
npm install --save-dev nuxt-electron vite-plugin-electron vite-plugin-electron-renderer electron electron-builder
npm run build

And then starting the .exe ./release/0.0.0/win-unpacked/nuxt-electron-quick-start.exe

I didn't worked with electron from a long time, and maybe I am missing something.

Thank you in advance for your help.

This is because Nuxt is trying to load CSS and JS from the absolute root path /. Take a look at .output/public/index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html >
<head><meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/entry.3c4ebcd6.css"> <!-- this should be relative ./entry.3c4ebcd6.css -->
<link rel="modulepreload" as="script" crossorigin href="/entry.f4ecee44.js"> <!-- this should be relative ./entry.f4ecee44.js -->
<script type="module" src="/entry.f4ecee44.js" crossorigin></script><script id="shim-exports">var exports = typeof module !== 'undefined' ? module.exports : {};</script></head>
<body ><div id="__nuxt"></div><script type="application/json" id="__NUXT_DATA__" data-ssr="false">[{"_errors":1,"serverRendered":2,"data":3,"state":4},{},false,{},{}]</script>
<script>window.__NUXT__={};window.__NUXT__.config={public:{},app:{baseURL:"/",buildAssetsDir:"/",cdnURL:""}}</script></body>
</html>

In the production build Electron will load the file .output/public/index.html using the file:// URL protocol, the CSS and JS assets are relative to the index.html since they are in the same folder .output/public.

From what I researched Nuxt 3 does not support Static Site Generation which can be accessed from a disk folder using the file:// URL. It always require the site to be served by a webserver (i.e. http:// or https:// URL).

@hafsalm, i don't understand well how you resolve this problem in your project. Can you explain?

It can build but you can't run the production build, it works only in dev mode aka yarn run dev. I built myself that project, installed the electron app (from the releases/<VERSION> folder) and tried to use it, it won't load the page, the screen will stay blank.

Please see my solution in this comment:

I have made a PR for this issue: #60

Meanwhile, the solution will be to add this to your nuxt.config.ts:
nitro: {
  runtimeConfig: {
    app: {
      baseURL: './',
    }
  }
}

Thank you @OlaAlsaker

It fixed at least the frontend part.

But all the /api/... routes seems to not work, or I don't know how I should write URL in useFetch.
