Building to a blank screen

• Version: 13.11.1

• Target: Linux (AppImage)

I am trying to add electron builder to the vuepack project I have the following scripts:

"scripts": {
    "src:build": "webpack --config build/webpack.prod.js",
    "src:dev": "node build/server.js",
    "app:pack": "cd app && USE_SYSTEM_XORRISO=true build --dir",
    "app:build": "cd app && USE_SYSTEM_XORRISO=true build",
    "app:dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development electron app/"
  },

Now if I run npm run src:dev and npm run app:dev everything runs fine, however if I run npm run src:build and npm run app:build and run the AppImage it starts but just renders with a white screen.

I have had to create a second package.json in the app/ directory based of this issue which seems to at least let the app build.

I also read through this issue on electron-packager but I couldn’t make a lot of sense of it.

Is there anything I can do to better debug this issue? Thanks in advance!

try this :

function createWindow () {
  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    //...
  })
// use this to open dev tools manualy to debug
 mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools()
//...
}

same issue here, but only works when mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools() is called, at the moment that I comment mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools() the app start showing in blank again, and DevTools is not showing any errors 😕
