Map doesn't open

[missytake]

• Operating System (Linux/Mac/Windows/iOS/Android): xubuntu 22.04
• Delta Chat Version: 1.45.0, installed via .deb
• Expected behavior: when I click on the map icon on the top right of the selected chat window, the map opens.
• Actual behavior: nothing happens.
• Steps to reproduce the problem:
  • open desktop
  • click on the map icon
• Logs:

  Error occurred in handler for 'open-maps-webxdc': {
  code: -1,
  message: 'failed to open file /opt/DeltaChat/resources/app.asar/html-dist/xdcs/maps.xdc\n' +
  '\n' +
  'Caused by:\n' +
  '    Not a directory (os error 20)'
  }

If I start deltachat-desktop with npm run start, it works.

The path doesn't work:

$ file /opt/DeltaChat/resources/app.asar
/opt/DeltaChat/resources/app.asar: data

There is /opt/DeltaChat/resources/app.asar.unpacked/, but it just contains:

.
└── node_modules
    └── @deltachat
        └── stdio-rpc-server-linux-x64
            ├── deltachat-rpc-server
            └── package.json

3 directories, 2 files

In general the file doesn't seem to be shipped, $ find /opt/ -name maps.xdc` doesn't give any output.

just another data point: on mac/sonoma with arm-build (thanks for that, btw!), the map shows up

I have the same problem. When I click on the map icon in the bar or on "Open global map" nothing happens. When I click on the gallery icon it is always highlighted along with the map icon.

I found the following suspicious entries in the log:

Same for me.

probably we need to instruct electron-builder to also put it into the asap.unpacked folder and then additionally adjust the code so it finds it when it is a release, similar to what I did for the rpc server in

https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/blob/513bf80d7c6fa35459301da7b4ecf31edb4976c9/src/main/deltachat/controller.ts#L88-L91

Probably the issue is that electron can deal with those paths, but deltachat core does not understand what the asar archive is so it does not look inside of it.

I was now able to start DC via terminal. This messages are displayed there:

(node:2322) ExperimentalWarning: Importing JSON modules is an experimental feature and might change at any time (Use DeltaChat --trace-warnings ... to show where the warning was created)

i meanwhile have the same bug as well, not sure what has changed. at least, the bug is consistent now :)
