started an electron + react + typescript project a while ago and it was working fine, but then suddenly it stopped compiling after each change.
index.ts:
import { app, BrowserWindow } from 'electron';
// This allows TypeScript to pick up the magic constants that's auto-generated by Forge's Webpack
// plugin that tells the Electron app where to look for the Webpack-bundled app code (depending on
// whether you're running in development or production).
declare const MAIN_WINDOW_WEBPACK_ENTRY: string;
declare const MAIN_WINDOW_PRELOAD_WEBPACK_ENTRY: string;
// Handle creating/removing shortcuts on Windows when installing/uninstalling.
if (require('electron-squirrel-startup')) {
// eslint-disable-line global-require
app.quit();
}
const createWindow = (): void => {
// Create the browser window.
const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
height: 600,
width: 800,
webPreferences: {
preload: MAIN_WINDOW_PRELOAD_WEBPACK_ENTRY,
},
autoHideMenuBar: true
});
// and load the index.html of the app.
mainWindow.loadURL(MAIN_WINDOW_WEBPACK_ENTRY);
// Open the DevTools.
// mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools();
};
// This method will be called when Electron has finished
// initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
// Some APIs can only be used after this event occurs.
app.on('ready', createWindow);
try {
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-var-requires
require('electron-reloader')(module)
// eslint-disable-next-line no-empty
} catch (_) {}
// Quit when all windows are closed, except on macOS. There, it's common
// for applications and their menu bar to stay active until the user quits
// explicitly with Cmd + Q.
app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
app.quit();
}
});
app.on('activate', () => {
// On OS X it's common to re-create a window in the app when the
// dock icon is clicked and there are no other windows open.
if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) {
createWindow();
}
});
// In this file you can include the rest of your app's specific main process
// code. You can also put them in separate files and import them here.
my package.json scripts:
"scripts": {
"start": "electron-forge start",
"package": "electron-forge package",
"make": "electron-forge make",
"publish": "electron-forge publish",
"lint": "eslint --ext .ts,.tsx ."
}
If I cancel it and then try to run again my changes will be there. Also, this is a project where I code in different computers and with other people, and in other scenarios it is working fine, but in my case and in my computer it started to not work.
