# Bug Report ## Problem Recently we have noticed that Cordova CLI was no longer starting electron app on windows when running `cordova run electron` or `cordova run electron --nobuild`. I noticed that this only happens with `[email protected]` and only on windows OS. Interestingly we've been using `cordova-electron@2nightly` builds for a while and it used to work fine so not sure what exactly has changed. Perhaps upgrading to Cordova 10 has affected it? I was able to recreate the issue consistently using "Hello World" app. With the following steps: 1. Create new app 2. Add electron v2 3. prepare and run ### What is expected to happen? - Electron app started ### What does actually happen? - Electron app never launched ## Information <!-- Include all relevant information that might help understand and reproduce the problem --> This happens on all our machines. Watching "Task Manager" I can see 5 Electron processes started and running under "Background Processes". On a normal launch those processes are briefly promoted to "Apps" section and the app is shown but not in this case. The issue seems to be with the launch process rather than build as I can build installer using `cordova build electron` which then can be installed and launched with no issues. However if `cordova run electron` is used then the process hangs indefinitely after going though all the build steps. Also note that if non v2 `cordova-electron` is used such as current production `1.1.1` then the app starts as expected. ### Command or Code <!-- What command or code is needed to reproduce the problem? --> 1. `cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld` 2. `cd hello` 3. `cordova add platform [email protected]` 4. `cordova prepare electron` 5. `cordova run electron --nobuild` ### Environment, Platform, Device <!-- In what environment, on what platform or on which device are you experiencing the issue? --> Windows 10 across multiple machines. ### Version information <!-- What are relevant versions you are using? For example: Cordova: Cordova CLI, Cordova Platforms, Cordova Plugins Other Frameworks: Ionic Framework and CLI version Operating System, Android Studio, Xcode etc. --> Cordova CLI version `10.0.0` Node `14.15.4` Windows 10 ## Checklist <!-- Please check the boxes by putting an x in the [ ] like so: [x] --> - [x ] I searched for existing GitHub issues - [x ] I updated all Cordova tooling to most recent version - [x ] I included all the necessary information above ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
