electron JS : ready-to-show method is not running at all




onst {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron');

function createWindow () {
    // Create the browser window.
    win = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600});

    // Emitted when the window is closed.
    win.on('closed', () => {
        console.log('closed!');
        win = null
    })

  mainWindow.once('ready-to-show', () => {
  console.log("mainwindow starting now ");
 
    mainWindow.show();
  });

    // and load the url of the app.
    win.loadURL('https://www.google.com');
}

app.on('ready', createWindow);

When using Electron JS, the ready-to-show event may not be firing as expected when the BrowserWindow object is loaded. This could be due to a few reasons, such as having the show option set to true or not listening for the event on the correct window object.

To fix this, try the following:

1.When creating the BrowserWindow object, ensure that the show option is set to false . This will prevent the window from being visible until the ready-to-sho w event is fired. Here is an example:


const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')

app.whenReady().then(() => {
  const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    show: false // set show to false
  })

  mainWindow.loadFile('index.html')

  mainWindow.once('ready-to-show', () => {
    mainWindow.show()
  })
})

2.Verify that you are listening for the ready-to-show event on the correct BrowserWindow object. If you have multiple windows, ensure that you attach the event listener to the correct window object. Here is an example:


const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')

app.whenReady().then(() => {
  const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    show: false
  })

  mainWindow.loadFile('index.html')

  mainWindow.once('ready-to-show', () => {
    console.log('Ready to show!')
  })
})

3.Check that you have the latest version of Electron JS. Older versions may have bugs or issues that have been fixed in newer releases.

4.Consider using the did-finish-load event instead of ready-to-show. This event fires when the window has finished loading its contents, and may work better in some cases. Here is an example:



const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')

app.whenReady().then(() => {
  const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    show: false
  })

  mainWindow.loadFile('index.html')

  mainWindow.webContents.on('did-finish-load', () => {
    mainWindow.show()
  })
})

By implementing these solutions, you should be able to resolve any issues you are experiencing with the ready-to-show event in your Electron JS application.
