LiveCode Forums.

Hello all,

This code works in the Livecode IDE environment, but when it is made into a standalone program for Windows it does not work:

if gBrowserID is not an integer then
put revBrowserOpenCEF(the windowId of this stack, "https://www[dot]google[dot]com") into gBrowserID
revBrowserSet gBrowserID, "rect", the rect of graphic "browserPlaceholder"
revBrowserSet gBrowserID, "newwindow", true
end if

A debug log is generated and has this error in it:
ERROR:child_process_launcher.cc(445)] Failed to launch child process

I am posting this in the hope that somebody will show me how to solve this issue. Thanks!

Switch to the Browser widget, now all other browser incarnations are just the browser widget.

Max,

Thank you for your reply!

Regarding the browser widget, that sounds fine except that I do not know how to set it so that it will open a new window in a similar fashion to this:

revBrowserSet gBrowserID, "newwindow", true

Maybe you or someone knows how to solve this issue?

@bbock12

Have you tried choosing "Select Inclusions" in the "General" pane of the Standalone Settings, and then checking "Browser (CEF)" in the "Inclusions" pane?

Best,

Panos,

Even though I had noticed previously that CEF has been created and populated in the Externals folder every time I created a standalone using the automatic search for inclusions feature, I went ahead and tried what you suggested and it worked! Thanks!

Now if you could only solve the problem that the CEF browser will not open blabladomain[.]local

@block12,

Now if you could only solve the problem that the CEF browser will not open blabladomain[.]local

This affects only the standalone, is that correct?

Just a shot in the dark: What is the path to blabladomain[.]local? Could it be the case that the path is valid for the IDE, but invalid for the standalone?

A sample stack would be helpful for diagnosing the problem.

Best,
Panos

goto that substack and use: Otherwise the substack already have the widget, and when you open it, it will be shown.

Yes, revbrowser or widget, the point is that WE have to take care of creating a new (browser) window!

But yes, the documentation for this revbrowser property ("newwindow") is VERY misleading!
