vivimice / electron-ipcfy Goto Github PK

Hello,

I'm trying to use the library but I'm not able to get it to work. I have a fairly simple use case. I have two renderer windows. The second is opened by the first using new BrowserWindow. In the second I want to send a message to the first after some work completes. In the first I then react to the message. However I'm not receiving the message in the first one.

Here is my simple service:

import { ipcfy } from 'electron-ipcfy';

export interface MosaicToPdfServiceInterface {
    readyToPrint(winid: number): void;
}

export const mosaicPdfService = ipcfy<MosaicToPdfServiceInterface>('mosaictopdf');

In the first renderer I attach an implementation:

mosaicPdfService.__attachImpl(new class implements MosaicToPdfServiceInterface {
                public readyToPrint(winid: number): void {
                    debugger;
                    console.log('got message from print window ' + winid);
                }
            });

Then in the second renderer I call the service:

mosaicPdfService.readyToPrint(remote.getCurrentWindow().id);

However I never get the message in the first renderer.

Debugging the call to readyToPrint, I get to equivalent of line 270 of IpcRegistry.ts, then in the call to probeRemoteHandlerLocation I get to line 298 (ipcRenderer.send(queryChannel, topic);) after that I'm not able to follow the debugging well.

Is there something I'm missing? It's an Angular app (7.2.14) but I don't think that should matter.

Thanks.
