Hey guys,

I created the original fix.

And now I share another way to use whatsapp web on nativefier. No code injection required.

Pressing ctrl+shift+i (on Linux) and the Devtools window will open. Then click on Application -> Service Workers And check the option Bypass for network.

Now press ctrl+r to reload. And ctrl+shift+i to close the Devtools.

Whenever you open your whatsapp the problem will occur, but since the Bypass for network option has already been enabled, you only need to press ctrl+shift+i (open devtools), ctrl+r (reload), ctrl+shift+i (close devtools)

@frealgagu, thanks for your work. This package was in my list as one of required apps to be installed after install Arch. I saw your last update ( document.querySelector("a[href='https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95414']") ), NICE/GREAT/GOOD!

Another way to do the same in 2 lines: document.querySelector("a[href='https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95414']") && navigator.serviceWorker.getRegistration().then(r => r.unregister() && document.location.reload());

Having a problem asking to update Chrome. Can't start the app anymore.

@aquilarubra try building in a clean chroot, it works that way for me. Alternatively you can download an already built package from here:

https://github.com/frealgagu/archlinux.whatsapp-nativefier/releases/

Please don't flag the package as outdated, the method "Bypass for network mentioned in the pinned comments should work to avoid the Google Chrome 60+ issue.

Doesn't build. Error: Failed to locate module "electron-context-menu"

The package build fails for me:

$ makepkg -si
...
==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
sed: can't read /tmp/whatsapp-nativefier/src//resources/app/lib/preload.js: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...

It works if I use print $8 instead of print $9 on lines 44 and 45 of PKGBUILD, or if I drop the awk completely and use just ls without -l. Why is ls -l used instead of just ls anyway? None of the extra info is utilized.

@tywyqu Application is shown in tray? that's the correct way to close the app.

tywyqu commented on 2021-08-11 18:41 (UTC)

App continues to work in background after force closing it. Any way to elegantly kill it?

rixx commented on 2021-08-05 09:35 (UTC)

My current state is that with the pinned workaround, I get a "Browser not supported" message, and without it, I get the update prompt ("WhatsApp works with Google Chrome 60+"). Does anybody have a solution for this?

frealgagu commented on 2021-07-09 23:22 (UTC)

@jaro3 what AUR helper are you using? it looks like an error caused in package nodejs-nativefier, not in this. Error is clear that yargs only supports nodejs greater than 12, so, you need to install a nodejs version accordingly.

doesn't build ;-;
