Chrysalis ^v0.9.4 not rendering(?) windows 11 #1188

Closed aguthrie19 closed 8 months ago

aguthrie19 commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug Chrysalis v0.9.4 is the last release that I can properly start and run. Other releases like v0.9.4 and v0.11.8 briefly flash a window and then disappear.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download Chrysalis-0.9.4.exe and Chrysalis-0.9.5.exe
  2. Click on Chrysalis-0.9.4.exe, allow installation, open the app, window appears, can use as expected. Uninstall the app from Windows>Settings>Apps>Installed apps.
  3. Click on Chrysalis-0.9.5.exe, allow installation, open the app, a window briefly flashes before disappearing. Noticed in task manager that the chrysalis process moves from the "Apps" to "Background Processes" and remains there.

Expected behavior The chrysalis window to stay open.

Can you try starting Chrysalis from a terminal, or power shell console or something along those lines? I would be curious to see if it prints anything there... if something goes wrong, it should, but you wouldn't see it when you launch Chrysalis via the start menu.

Nothing in the log image

Edit Does Chrysalis v0.9.5 depend on Microsoft Edge WebView2? (because I've removed WebView from my machine) Installing WebView2 didn't resolve the behavior of v0.9.5 or v0.11.8

aguthrie19 commented 2 years ago

With a clean windows installation, not using AveYo's Edge_Removal.bat, then chrysalis v0.9.5 and v0.11.8 work. @algernon Does chrysalis depend on processes Win32WebViewHost or MSEdgeHTM?

algernon commented 2 years ago

It doesn't, not directly. Some functionality of Electron might, like opening links in external applications. Those might very well try to call into Edge, I suppose. Or if not Electron, some of our other dependencies, maybe. We do not directly depend on either of those.

Looking through the 0.9.5 changelog, 3dfa2652bafbc3baec727e4f50b75062b9972462 feels like the only thing that could do this.

I'm having exactly the same issue. I can run correctly up to 0.9.4. But after that is just a blank screen that flash and close, and I can see the process lingering in task manager. No logs from chrysalis.

This is on a win11 machine, and I haven't removed any windows component.

@algernon any suggestion? I also compiled from branch (v0.13.3 and current head) and I get she same behavior.

Thanks in advance :)

@lemuus - Can you try with https://chrysalis.keyboard.io? All future Chrysalis development is going toward the new browser-based tooll

lemuus commented 9 months ago

@obra thanks!! that worked perfectly :)

obra commented 8 months ago

Chrysalis now runs in-browser using WebSerial and WebUSB, so I'm closing out this issue as obsolete.
