Cannot load local resource about electron-about-window

[rhysd]

I'm not electron-webpack user, so I'm not sure this package can work with it.

Not allowed to load local resource: file://node_modules/about-window/about.html

When and who outputs the error message? The file:// protocol requires absolute path. But file://node_modules/about-window/about.html looks to utilize relative path. It should be file:///path/to/node_modules/about-window/about.html in the case, I guess.

I get the message Not allowed to load local resource: file://node_modules/about-window/about.html in the dev tools console when I enable the tools for the about window.

I think it would be possible to make it work with both with and without webpack.

Thanks for the info. What I want to clarify is that the root cuse of the error message is actually webpack. But I'm not a webpack user and don't know how to use it.

I think the error is because of

const index_html = 'file://' + path.join(__dirname, '..', 'about.html');

After webpack build __dirname will point to output folder, but about.html will be left in node_modules. Need to add custom about_page_dir option, same as package_json_dir to fix this

I tried to use this package again and version 1.11.0 seems to work fine with electron-webpack 1.13.0. So for me this is not an issue anymore 👍 Thanks for a great package!

I'm also having this issue - I've created #29 to allow for an about_page_dir param
