On macOS, main window cannot be activate if closed without --fast-quit option #1415

spywhere · 2022-05-25T19:40:02Z

Homework

I looked at nativefier --help and https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/blob/master/API.md
I checked the Troubleshooting section of the README.
I searched existing issues, open & closed. Yes, my bug is new.
I'm using the latest version available at https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/releases

Bug description

On macOS, main window cannot be activate if closed without `--fast-quit`` option. This was due to undefined mainWindow variable.

Steps to reproduce

nativefier --verbose 'https://mail.proton.me' -n 'ProtonMail' --background-color '#1C1B23' --counter --title-bar-style hidden --disable-context-menu --darwin-dark-mode-support
Running in verbose mode! This will produce a mountain of logs and is recommended only for troubleshooting or if you like Shakespeare.


    Hi! Nativefier is minimally maintained these days, and needs more hands.
    If you have the time & motivation, help with bugfixes and maintenance is VERY welcome.
    Please go to https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier and help how you can. Thanks.

Finalizing build...
App built to /Users/spywhere/ProtonMail-darwin-arm64, move to wherever it makes sense for you and run the app bundle.

Then run the app, close the window, try clicking on the dock to restore window.

Expected behavior

Main window is showing properly when click on the dock after closing it earlier

Actual behavior

An error dialog is show up

Debug info

Error popup when click on the dock

Traces

Error was produced from this line

nativefier/app/src/main.ts

Line 256 in 59a4bb8

onReady().catch((err) => log.error('onReady ERROR', err));
Which is caused by

nativefier/app/src/main.ts

Line 323 in 59a4bb8

mainWindow = await createMainWindow(appArgs, setDockBadge);
Which is then caused by

nativefier/app/src/components/mainWindow.ts

Line 158 in 59a4bb8

await mainWindow.loadURL(options.targetUrl);

From electron/electron#17526, the error seem to be from a redirection by the host.

By wrapping the call with try/catch, the issue seem to be gone. I can make a PR but I'm not sure if wrapping it directly would affecting anything else or not, so input is highly appreciated.
