Window resize using wails dev

[freehelpdesk]

Description

During testing, wails dev does not provide functionality for resizing the window like it does while compiling while running in frameless mode.

Drag does not work as well when running the app though wails dev

To Reproduce

Frameless: true wails dev

Expected behaviour

The window to be resized and resize events to be handled like it does in the full build of the application

Screenshots

Attempted Fixes

Tried modifying the source to allow this on the devserver. Did not succeed.

Thanks for using Wails and reporting this.

Seems like a recently regression, because I'm certain dragging worked for the intial v2 release.

Will try to test it soon.

[freehelpdesk]

Appreciate your timely response!

I've just tried that with a clean new project wails init -n myproject -t svelte with wails v2.3.1. Resizing and also dragging worked as expected during wails dev with a frameless window.

Could you please provide us with a minimal reproduction guide? Can you reproduce it with a clean new wails project?

[freehelpdesk]

I can confirm that it works with a fresh project, This is so strange, let me contact out frontend team, seems to be an issue with our cross platform Vue code.

[freehelpdesk]

One thing, out project uses quasar, that would be the only difference i can come up with.

It seems like the wrong IPC is used, when using wails dev it should use the in-process IPC when shown in the app. But from your error message it seems like the websocket IPC is used like when using the browser for accessing the devserver.

Is the IPC probably added manually?

[freehelpdesk]

I have no clue, I'm the Go backend developer and have very little knowledge about JS and javascript frameworks.

@freehelpdesk were you able to solve this with your frontend team?

[stffabi]

I think we could close this issue, because it seems not be a general resize problem. @freehelpdesk please feel free to reopen it if you need any further help or have question how to track it down.
