webContent has not "destory" method.
In other words, if I want to destroy the webcontent from id then I couldn't do anything.
And I have killed the process for webContent but the pId was became 0 and I can see webContent(not destroyed) in webContents.getAllWebContents().
Could you help me ?
webContents.getAllWebContents().forEach((wc: WebContents) => {
const url: string = wc.getURL();
const pId: number = wc.getOSProcessId();
if ('about:blank' === url) {
if (0 !== wc.getOSProcessId()) {
process.kill(pId);
}
}
});
#how to destroy webContent with webContentId?
rain temple
nocturne merlin
for what purpose?

Hi
Thank you for your reply.
I am working on the web browser project based on electronjs.
In my project, I have made the task manager for control tabs.
This package is what I have posted.
To destroy webContent, I have to call process.kill method.
But webContent.getAllWebContents then the killed webContent is still exitance.
Thus, I think webContent.destory must be existed.
What do you think ?
nocturne merlin
webContent is part of BrowserWindow
rain temple
yeah
nocturne merlin
use destroy of browserwindow
rain temple
Then all process will be existed.
If browserwindow has many browserView then how are you going ?
nocturne merlin
with browserview api
if you able to attach browserview to browserwindow
you able to detach it
rain temple
yeah, but there might be the undestroyed webContent even if I called browser.removeBrowserView(view).
Do you think it's right code ?
nocturne merlin
if you able to use it why not
but destroying webcontent may also destroy its owner
rain temple
Absolutely, webContent doesn't have destroy method.
rain temple
It's the sample code by some guys.
yeah,but if I call the destroy method then it would occur an errror.
nocturne merlin
what error?
tired mantle
Typescript types don't list the destroy method as being available, but it is 🙂
and you must set the active browserwindow to null or another view before calling destroy
nocturne merlin
you mistype
rain temple
what do you mean ?
nocturne merlin
destory
rain temple
oh, really sorry.
Thank you so much, 🙂
why destroy method doesn't exist in documentation ?
nocturne merlin
because it is not supposed to be used
rain temple
so in generally, we shouldn't use destroy method, shouldn't it?
nocturne merlin
no
rain temple
because it is not supposed to be used
then what do you mean ?
nocturne merlin
no, you shouldnt use it
rain temple
There is the point I want to destroy webContent by id.
in this case, we can call directly destroy method, I think.
What do you think ?
nocturne merlin
use close of browserwindow
rain temple
yah, I have already used it.
But there is the case that electron.js don't release webContent when I have set this.browserView = null; and this.window.win.removeBrowserView(view.browserView);
So I had to call process.kill to clear the unused webContent.
nocturne merlin
but closest i find where webcontents.close exists is electron v22
rain temple
ok.
