#Frontend variable doesn't increment if the window is minimized.

I have this variable that I increment using setInterval frontend side.
If I wait for a bit then show the window again it appears that the variable has not been incremented during the (or at least the full) period of intervals when the window was minimized.

I'm using Svelte on top of Tauri, on windows.

Afaik that's a webview optimization (at least on some platforms) that the webview gets frozen while it's not actively in view. Same kind of thing your browser does when you have a lot of tabs open at the same time

Yea, unfortunately I think so. Like I know we've talked about this at some point before in the discord and I believe this was the conclusion at least. There's nothing Tauri does at least that makes it stop executing

I thought so as well, before I stumbled upon this delightful module :) https://www.npmjs.com/package/worker-timers

npm
worker-timers

A replacement for setInterval() and setTimeout() which works in unfocused windows.. Latest version: 7.0.71, last published: 15 hours ago. Start using worker-timers in your project by running npm i worker-timers. There are 40 other projects in the npm registry using worker-timers.

Seems to work perfectly for my use case

That was the most "darth vader rusting" looking gif I found 😅
