Hi @ffetech
do you can create a small project with the problem?
So I can download and try it...

Best,
Gregor

Hi Gregor,

Thank you for help. Now I have created a new small project with angular 7.

You can download it from here.
https://customer.ffe-tech.com/code/ElectronDotNet.Core21Ng7Ipc.zip

Now I have a different solution (but also not working). In the header of index.html you can find the javascript-like electron import "const electron = require('electron'). Then there is a angular service "IpcService" which encapsulates the ipc code. The app component injects the service and make the corresponding method calls to the IpcService. Debugging with the chrome dev tools is possible. But on c# side the message is not receiving.

Best Regards

Hi ffetech,

I'm having the same issue, do you solve it? or find a workaroud?

Cheers,
Jesus Santander.

Hi jsantanders, Hi Gregor,

It‘s not solves yet, but I have noticed the following behaviour:

If i debug it in chrome developer tools it surprisingly worked if i step over the ipcRenderer.send method.

Because of that I had the idea to implement a „setTimeout“ of 5000ms to send delayed. But this also do not work.

Hey @ffetech, @jsantanders and other Angular Devs from our Community :)

@ffetech I downloaded your sample code and immediately recognized the problem.

The ipcRenderer works asynchronously in the background. When a message arrives and your data is changed, no Angular Change Detection becomes active.

That's because the Change Detection runs over Zone.js. This subscribes to all DOM events, XHR events, etc. - When these are triggered, only their call stack is processed. Then goes through the change detection. With otherwise asynchronous code, Zone.js does not recognize this.

The solution is to run your own asynchronous code in one zone. This automatically triggers a change detection. Here the updated code from your sample:

constructor(private ipc: IpcService, zone: NgZone) {
  this.ipc.on('asynchronous-reply', (event, args) => {
    zone.run(() => {
      this.message = `Asynchronous message reply: ${args}`;
    });
  });

  this.ipc.send("async-msg", 'ping');
}

p.s. I would disguise the zone call in the service. Looks like better... :)

Hello Gregor,

good to know. Thank You :)

Hi guys, I tried to run the example above, but I get an error:

pm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! electron.net.host@1.0.2 start: `tsc -p . "--port" "59776"`

I installed the npm packages, built the angular project and ran electronize start. what am I missing?

Thanks!

Anybody can help?

thanks.

I have the same issue with .Net Core 2.2 and 3.0 using a default MVC project but with Angular.
