Friendly bump , I know it's sunday and I'm not in a rush
Ran another test using the example repo from js-ipfs-examples, using the 'browser-vite' example: https://github.com/ipfs-examples/js-ipfs-examples/tree/master/examples/browser-vite
For the purposes of replication, and if you don't trust my repo, or are suspicious Tauri is adding something unique to the dependencies that's causing the problem, your example repo also results in the same error using Epiphany but works just fine in Brave.
js-IPFS is in the process of being deprecated, the replacement is Helia - please see the State of IPFS in JS post for a bit of background and the migration guide for how to port your app over.
I'm not 100% but I think the wonderfully descriptive The operation failed for an operation-specific reason
error was something to do with a difference between WebKit and every other rendering engine around key derivation - it was fixed by https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p-crypto/pull/313 - can you please upgrade your app to Helia and see if the problem still exists?

Description:
Error creating a js-ipfs (ipfs & ipfs-core) node in a Tauri project.
I started by trying to get js-ipfs working with a build of my Nuxt 3 app using Tauri (Rust counterpart of Electron). It produced a non-descriptive error so I tested a plain TS implementation using the template produced with
yarn create tauri-app
and got a different non-descriptive error, similar to the one mentioned in issue #3878, but much longer, you can find the repo I used herePrior to this issue I opened one in the Tauri repo here
After someone on their team explained a bit, and pointed me in the direction of #3878, I tried
create(options)
with all 3 options passed tooptions.init.algorithm
; 'Ed25519', 'RSA', secp256k1'. No luck.Steps to reproduce the error:
Clone my linked repo, cd into it, and:
Open link in the Epiphany browser. Or wait a little longer for Tauri, you may need to install Tauri and rust deps, to compile it and run:
Clicking the "Init IPFS" button tries running the
create()
function which causes the error.Do you think this is a problem with Epiphany or with WebKitGTK? The ipfs node is created fine when yarn dev is output in any other desktop browser I've tested except Epiphany(which is what Tauri uses for display). Is there a work around usable through js-ipfs or should I take this to the webkitgtk repo?
I know support for the Epiphany browser is probably not high on anyone's priority list, can't imagine many people use it as a daily driver, but compatibility could be useful for building IPFS desktop/mobile apps with tauri.
