Current/Missing Behavior

Having a package.json of:

{
  "name": "nwjstest",
  "main": "index.html",
  "user-agent": "%webkit_ver"
}

Gives the following in navigator.userAgent:

537.36 (@0000000000000000000000000000000000000000)

Expected/Proposed Behavior

I expect it to show instead:

537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)

Additional Info

  • Operating System: Linux/MacOS, probably windows but had not tested it.
  • NW.js Version: 0.87

Is the expected output exactly 537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)?

Yes, I hard coded it for me instead of using %webkit_ver

What is the last version that you know this was working? I feel like this could be an easy fix.

bluthen commented

We noticed it going from v0.78.1 -> 0.87.0

However trying v0.30.0, still shows the issue to me now. So maybe it has something to do with running on newer systems?

Shouldn't be the case since the characters after the @ should be the Chromium git commit. Maybe something in the build config changed?
