GatsbyJS in Electron, how to solve issue with file://












1















I'm trying to bundle a GatsbyJS application inside Electron starting from the gatsby default starter (boilerplate repository).



After created the main.js file for electron using this code:



// Modules to control application life and create native browser window
const {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron')

// Keep a global reference of the window object, if you don't, the window will
// be closed automatically when the JavaScript object is garbage collected.
let mainWindow

function createWindow () {
// Create the browser window.
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600})

// and load the index.html of the app.
mainWindow.loadFile(__dirname + '/public/index.html')


I've an issue with urls, in fact it's not able to load js files since they uses an absolute paths:



In Electron console:



Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND file:///C:/app-bab7028ef226fa82b9a6.js


Is there any way to fix it in Electron or GatsbyJS?

  • Use gatsby serve and BrowserWindow.loadURL instead of .loadFile
