electron

I have a simple app built using Electron framework . I packaged the code using electron-packager-interactive . I also created a Windows installer file which is ready for distribution using Inno Setup compiler (Single .exe file). The problem here is when users run the .exe file, a popup from Windows Smart screen blocks it saying publisher is unknown . Only after "More info", it allows to install with " Run anyway ". Probably it's because my application is not signed . So can anyone help me how to sign an Electron application (Windows application) so that it's treated as trusted application ?

I am keeping MongoDB source code inside electron source code and running MongoDB using this command : const app = require('electron').app; const child_process = require('child_process'); const dbInstanceDir = app.getAppPath(); const startMongo = dbInstanceDir + mongodb/bin/mongod --dbpath mydbpath --port 27017 --logpath mylogfile child_process.exec(startMongo, (error, stdout, stderr) => { }); Above command is working while development but it not working after bundling. I am using electron builder to make bundle. MongoDB source code is at root level. As far as I know, you cannot package MongoDB

I'm trying to prototype an Electron app using Angular 2 (configured with the latest webpack-based angular cli) for the gui, but I'm stuck since I don't get how to import Electron api in my angular2 components. Specifically I want to be able to open a new BrowserWindow at the click on a button in the ui... so: <button type="button" (click)="openNewWindow()"> open </button> and in my component: openNewWindow() { let appWindow = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600}); appWindow.loadUrl('http://www.google.com'); } but... how can I import BrowserWindow?! By using: import { BrowserWindow }

I have a deployed Electron App in Windows. I'm trying to add a command line option on the .exe. "C:\Program Files\MyApp.exe" -debug How I can read the debug flag inside my App? I tried with process.argv, but the debug variable isn't there. All your arguments are inside the process.argv array. So if you are trying to access the arguments from the main process you can just use the following: //the command you called is always argv[0] process.argv[0] == "C:\Program Files\MyApp.exe" //every other argument, separated by spaces, is in the array in order process.argv[1] == "-debug" If you are trying

In my electron application, users can record video from their webcam using the MediaRecorder API. When the user hit the "stop record" button, I get a blob of the recorded video. What i would like to do is to convert this blob to a real webm video and write it into the user's filesystem with for example : fs.writeFile(localdir + '\\video.webm', videoBlob); // does not work The example below works pretty well with base64 image snapshot that I get from the webcam, but i can't make it work with the video blob that I get. Thanks for enlighten me ! Create a video blob. chunks is an array of event

Our Electron application starts minimized to the Windows tray notification area i.e. not visible on the desktop. If I attempt to get visibility information through methods such as this or as described here , checking the 'visible' property always returns true . For example, the below always returns true whether the app is minimized to the notification area or visible on the desktop: if(await Selector('button', { visibilityCheck: true }).visible) console.log("VISIBLE"); else console.log("NOT VISIBLE"); As a hail-mary, I have also attempted to check the 'focused' property but that also always
