无法使用 node/electron javascript 应用程序中的发送功能让 globalShortcut 将命令注册到 index.js

Question

for some reason my code is compiling with no error, however, my message "Helloworld" is not displaying properly in the console. however my test message is being displayed when i press the bound key combinations. below is my set of code, index.js and main.js

This is written for node/electron. My main.js file:

 //main.js //requirements const electron = require('electron'); const app = require('electron').app; const BrowserWindow = require('electron').BrowserWindow; const remote = require('electron').remote; const ipc = require('electron').ipcMain; const globalShortcut = require('electron').globalShortcut; var mainWindow = null; //create app, instantiate window app.on('ready', function() { mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ frame: false, height: 700, resizable: false, width: 368 }); mainWindow.loadURL(`file://${__dirname}/app/index.html`); //this is the icp bind globalShortcut.register('ctrl+shift+1', function(){ console.log("test") mainWindow.webContents.send("testBindicp" ,"HelloWorld"); }); //this is the remote bind globalShortcut.register('ctrl+shift+2', function(){ console.log("test") mainWindow.webContents.send("testBindicp" ,"HelloWorld"); }); }); //close the app ipc.on('close-main-window', function () { app.quit(); });

below is my entire index.js:

 //index.js const globalShortcut = require('electron').globalShortcut; const remote = require('electron').remote; const ipc = require('electron').ipcRenderer; //testing remote render from remote bind remote.require('./main.js'); remote.on('testBindRemote', function(event){ console.log(event + " - test - from remote index.js"); }); //testing icpRenderer from icp bind ipc.on('testBindicp', function (event) { console.log(event + " - test - from icpRenderer on index.js") }); //close the app var closeEl = document.querySelector('.close'); closeEl.addEventListener('click', function() { ipc.send('close-main-window'); });

the problem i'm having is when i press the keyboard binds, only the console logs from the main.js file are being send to the console. the close command is still working within the rendered window, but any other commands in the index.js window are not being bound to the proper main.js elements.

if i am doing something wrong, please let me know the proper way to implement these methodologies, as the remote and icp structures seem to be confusing to me.

Thank you.

You need to have another argument passed into the listening process ipc.on of index.js file, make it something like this:

ipc.on(<channel name>, function (event, arg) {
       console.log(arg + " - test - from icpRenderer on index.js");
   });
