Does it work if you wrap it with a try catch?

try {
  if(!self.window){window=self;}
} catch(e) { // do nothing }

I don't have an dummy electron project to try this (nor have I ever used it). Perhaps we could add a dummy electron demo under demos/ so that it is easier to catch those errors.

the problem is not with electron. its with express in electron. tried using lovefield in electron w/o express and it works great. when i implement express then i get this error

Are you trying to run Lovefield in Node (assuming by express you mean http://expressjs.com/) ? If that is the case, we have this script https://github.com/google/lovefield/blob/master/tools/node_bootstrap.js, that does it (but it is currently not part of dist/). See usage examples at the top of that file.

[nadavten]

not working for me. whats the part with 'dist' ?

[freshp86]

Currently if you

npm install lovefield

You will not find node_bootstrap.js anywhere in the node_modules/lovefield/ folder. You would need to get that file separately yourself, until we fix this (#190). Can you explain what did you try exactly that is not working? It should be something along the lines of https://github.com/google/lovefield/blob/master/tools/node_bootstrap.js#L20-L24.

[nadavten]

did just that. added to file db.ts which is under (root)/db folder. not working

A screenshot of the error would be helpful.

1. Is node_bootstrap.js executing?
2. What line is exactly failing?
3. Which method are you calling? Did you try loadCustomJs() and provide the correct path yourself?

[image: pasted1] tried 'loadCustomJs'. not working. unable to debug (using webpack). the app not starting
