Switching from Electron to NWjs: regeneratorRuntime?

[Steve Beisner]

I'm try to switch a large-ish application from Electron to NW.

I'm using .es6 modules and other features via Babel and

browserify.   

I start each es6 module with 'import "babel-polyfil";'.

 

While the Electron version works fine, the NW.js

version produces

    "regeneratorRuntime is not defined"

at startup.

Anyone have a clue as to why NW.js is different

from Electron in this respect?

Thanks,

OK... I figured it out. It was my confusion about browser context vs. nodejs context.

I added this to my start-up html file:

<script type="text/javascript">

    window.require("babel-polyfill"); 

    // Move a couple of things into the browser context's window object

    // from the node context's global object. 

    window.__dirname = global.__dirname;

    window.regeneratorRuntime = global.regeneratorRuntime;

</script>

That fixed it.

If anyone has another solution, I'd be delighted to hear about it!

Thanks for your solution.

I had the same issue with converting an Chrome App to NW.js.

This line solved the issue for me.

window.regeneratorRuntime = global.regeneratorRuntime;

Gr. Bas.
