Node-notifier silently fails when using electron-forge #358

Open mangosing opened 3 years ago

mangosing commented 3 years ago

I created a vanilla electron forge project using their webpack script npx create-electron-app my-new-app --template=webpack. From there I followed the node-notifier docs and inserted the notifier.notify('Message'); inside the createWindow function. I an console.log noitifer but and not getting any notification. Does anyone have an idea of what may be causing this? Is this being blocked by electron-forge somehow? Any and all help is much appreciated.

duplicate of #352 ?

@hovancik Im not sure this is exactly a duplicate. If you follow the Quickstart guide from the electron docs and then add in node-notifier in the main process it works. When you try to do the same thing even with a 'fresh-out-the-box' electron-forge install it silently fails from the main process but not the renderer process.
