No, there are no errors, it just stops functioning, I can record a video for a detailed study of this problem

share your code instead.
elfin grove
Ok
const { app, BrowserWindow, Menu, screen, ipcMain } = require('electron');
const path = require('path');
let win;
function createWindow() {
const { width, height } = screen.getPrimaryDisplay().workAreaSize;
win = new BrowserWindow({
width: 800,
height: 600,
webPreferences: {
nodeIntegration: false,
contextIsolation: true,
preload: path.join(__dirname, 'preload.js')
}
});
win.loadURL('https://ru.tradingview.com/chart/Irhk2lYq/');
const template = [{
label: 'Назад',
click: () => {
win.webContents.goBack();
}
},
{
label: 'Выход',
click: () => {
win.close();
}
}
];
const menu = Menu.buildFromTemplate(template);
Menu.setApplicationMenu(menu);
win.on('close', (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
win.destroy();
});
ipcMain.on('close-window', () => {
win.close();
});
}
app.whenReady().then(() => {
createWindow();
app.on('activate', () => {
if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) {
createWindow();
}
});
ipcMain.on('goBackHomeBoi', (event, arg) => {
win.webContents.goBack();
event.sender.send('WentBack', 'Done');
});
});
app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
app.quit();
}
});

why do you think it doesnt work?
elfin grove
This is one of the files if you hint that the project is not complete, and since I tried different options, nothing comes to mind. I figured out the Exit button thanks to .destroy, and I don't understand what to do with this one
lament mango
it doesn't answer the question
elfin grove
It turns out that when I start to expand one of the graphs and interact with the internal content of the site, the back button is automatically disabled in the console, there are no errors observed
lament mango
in the console?
elfin grove
yes
elfin grove
no, I run the test in cmd (console) via npm start
elfin grove
I'm sorry, the main domain is completely different there, the personal account in which the links are, I'll fix it now and show you
lament mango
??

This is the main page that the user gets to, in simple words, the Home page, where he can navigate through the rest of the charts, but when switching to the chart and interacting with it, it does not work to return to the main site rusbafet.ru , where all graphs are displayed
chilly finch
you should use website navigation
elfin grove
the charts they click on are on tradingview, how to use navigation if it's not a single site?
elfin grove
I tried to use it, but it still does not send this signal and the button does not work
Now I'll try again, assign the "Back" button instead of go.back is loadUrl
No, it didn't help
chilly finch
what doesnt work?
elfin grove
const template = [{
label: 'Назад',
click: () => {
win.loadURL('https://rusbafet.ru/');
}
chilly finch
errors?
elfin grove
no
chilly finch
why do you think it doesnt work then?
elfin grove
There are no errors, I click and it just doesn't work and that's it
chilly finch
add console.log into click handler
elfin grove
It gave out this ╨E╨░╨╢╨░╤In╨░ ╨║╨╜╨╛╨┐╨║╨░ "╨ E╨░╨╖╨░╨┤"
chilly finch
use english
elfin grove
chilly finch
english words in console.log
elfin grove
chilly finch
so its work
chilly finch
what electron version it is?
elfin grove
"electron": "^24.4.0"
chilly finch
does it work same withhttps://electronjs.org ?
elfin grove
I'll try it now
No, I do not observe such an error, since everything is static on https://electronjs.org in my example, the charts are dynamic and there is interaction with these elements on the Tradingview website
chilly finch
if problems because of charts it is not electron issue
you can try to .stop()
before loading new page
elfin grove
Please describe this method in more detail
elfin grove
if problems because of charts it is not electron issue
I don't see any problem with the charts, they work and work, all this runs in Electron, so why doesn't the "Back" signal reach the main page. There was a similar problem with the "Exit" button, I solved it this way https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41937111/electron-close-button-not-working
The answer of the author James Shaji helped me in this case and now the "Exit" button works very well
chilly finch
have you read this?
same way you can just do win.destroy()
without preventing close event
if site A work as expected and site B doesnt
problem with a site B
elfin grove
Yes, I used window.close() before, but it didn't work
chilly finch
without issue reproduction i cant tell you more
elfin grove
What is necessary for this? Should I provide the sources?
chilly finch
no
i need small part of your site that break default behavior
then put it into electron-fiddle
elfin grove
Here is the link to the graph https://ru.tradingview.com/chart/Irhk2lYq is that enough?
elfin grove
You tried to click on the graph and stretch it, authorization is needed, without authorization it worked for me too
chilly finch
yes
elfin grove
No, it doesn't work, now I'll record a video it will be clearer
Try to reproduce the problem like this, after expanding the graph or other clicks on the page elements, as well as drawing any line leads to this
Which version have you tested through?
chilly finch
24.4.0
elfin grove
And if you try a newer or an older one, an error may be displayed?
chilly finch
in case that home doest work on site itself
i dont think its problem with version
something prevent page to unload
elfin grove
I don't know what it could be, I will test with other versions and look for the reason, maybe I will find something, thank you for your help, if you find the reason, please let me know
chilly finch
add ```
win.webContents.on("will-prevent-unload", (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
});
