JS Exception on start

Radeox opened this issue 2 years ago · 25 comments

Hello there!
I've tried to launch the new version (1.5.0) through the zip archive and I get this error:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'start')
    at Object.<anonymous> (/opt/geforcenow-electron/resources/app.asar/scripts/rpc.js:4:26)

Compiling from source works so I don't know if I'm missing something.

Answer 1 · 2022-04-24T14:05:20.000Z

hmm, try adding --disable-rpc to the startup in the start command in package.json my guess is you don't have discord open on your pc not web

Answer 2 · 2022-04-24T14:07:51.000Z

could you try to tell me how to reproduce the error so then i can help better?

Answer 3 · 2022-04-24T14:09:54.000Z

I've just downloaded the geforcenow-electron_1.5.0_linux.zip and tried to run it with ./geforcenow-electron

I've just downloaded the geforcenow-electron_1.5.0_linux.zip and tried to run it with ./geforcenow-electron

can you try unzipping and in that folder in the terminal write npm install && npm start and enter

Answer 5 · 2022-04-24T14:13:10.000Z

There is no package.json in the zip

Answer 6 · 2022-04-24T14:15:41.000Z

There is no package.json in the zip

thats the problem alright, now write npm init -y && npm install electron discord-rich-presence && electron . i suggest looking at the source and just copy that package.json

Answer 7 · 2022-04-24T14:16:33.000Z

There is no package.json in the zip

im guessing the source only gives the code, not the package files

Answer 8 · 2022-04-24T14:24:29.000Z

Still not working:

Error launching app
Unable to find Electron app at ***/geforce

Cannot find module '***/geforce/scripts/main.js'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry

I've checked the 1.4.0 release zip and the package.json is missing there too, but it's working so I think the problem is somewhere else. I've tested with discord desktop open and have the same error

since i want this to be simple for you, go to the github repo and in the master branch take the package.json and put it in your folder replacing it then do npm install && npm start

Answer 10 · 2022-04-24T14:28:38.000Z

That's exactly what I did 😄

Answer 11 · 2022-04-24T14:31:10.000Z

That's exactly what I did 😄

do cd geforce && npm install && npm start
also if needed copy the package.json

Answer 12 · 2022-04-24T14:31:30.000Z

github has a folder inside a folder when you unzip it

Answer 13 · 2022-04-24T14:35:17.000Z

I was in the folder obviously 👍🏻

Answer 14 · 2022-04-24T14:36:49.000Z

I was in the folder obviously 👍🏻

about this, ill give a zip file that is bound to work

Answer 15 · 2022-04-24T14:45:39.000Z

But it's working for you?

Answer 16 · 2022-04-24T14:50:49.000Z

geforcenow-electron-1.5.0.zip

Answer 17 · 2022-04-24T14:51:03.000Z

I already tried that one and worked fine.

Answer 18 · 2022-04-24T14:51:34.000Z

Write npm install && npm start in terminal after you extract it and in the same folder or run bash start.sh (made myself)

Answer 19 · 2022-04-24T14:53:53.000Z

That zip works, I'm using the "compiled" one, geforcenow-electron_1.5.0_linux.zip for building the AUR package

okay thats great that it works for you, now i kinda understand what your trying to do now

Answer 21 · 2022-04-24T14:57:12.000Z

i guess you can compile it yourself? if you can

Answer 22 · 2022-04-24T14:59:04.000Z

Yeah, I could but since it's was working till this version I tought it's was an error in the zip

Answer 23 · 2022-04-24T15:37:13.000Z

I've changed the AUR script to build the package from source so this issue can be closed if not a problem for others 😄

Answer 24 · 2022-04-24T18:13:51.000Z

I installed it via snap store and got the same problem:
