devtools can not open when I load big data from nedb

replace main/index.js

win.loadURL(url)

to

await win.loadURL(url)

can work normally

Can provide a minimal reproduction repo?

I noticed the same issue while using knex and created a minimal reproduction repository here. Just run:

git clone https://github.com/simon-lorenz/electron-vite-project-repro-369.git
cd electron-vite-project-repro-369
npm install
npm run dev

I created this repository with npm create electron-vite. The fix by @han8435762 works for me too.

I've also noticed something very odd: On my machine, the bug seems to depend on the location of the repository. For example, if I clone into /tmp/electron-vite-project-repro-369, the developer tools appear normally. If I clone into ~/Desktop/electron-vite-project-repro-369, the tools disappear. I know it sounds far fetched but I could observe this behaviour on two different machines (although both run the same OS).

Node: v18.14.2
NPM: 9.5.0
OS: Ubuntu 22.04

I tested it locally and can open Devtools but it's slow!

I think the reason of slowness is loading the webpage takes lots of time. Just create a page that contains many imports of untransfoemed modules and load it. Ref: https://github.com/so1ve/unml/tree/work

I also encountered the same problem. If I open both mysql and sqlite, devtools cannot be opened. But if only one of them is turned on, there is no problem

@anyaoqi recommend use sqlite in Main process.
