Uncaught Error: task.matchType value invalid

[genesix-eu]

I am sorry to post this here, but i don't know better place to ask.

I got this code and I can't make it to work.

`

<title> Test </title> <script src="/node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script> Hello <script type="text/javascript"> const tasklist = require('tasklist'); const nwwc = require("windows-window-controller"); tasklist({verbose: true}).then(tasks => { console.log(tasks); var table = document.getElementById("test"); for (var i = 0; i < tasks.length; i++) { if (tasks[i].windowTitle !== "N/A"){ var row = table.insertRow(); var cell1 = row.insertCell(0); var cell2 = row.insertCell(1); var cell3 = row.insertCell(2); var cell4 = row.insertCell(3); cell1.innerHTML = tasks[i].imageName; cell2.innerHTML = tasks[i].pid; cell2.setAttribute("id", tasks[i].pid); cell3.innerHTML = tasks[i].memUsage; cell4.innerHTML = tasks[i].windowTitle; cell4.setAttribute("id", tasks[i].windowTitle); } } }) $(document).ready(function() { $("#test").on("click", "td", function() { console.log(event.target.id); // let temp_pid = Number(event.target.id); let temp_pid = event.target.id; console.log(typeof(temp_pid)); nwwc.hide(temp_pid).then((execRet) => console.log(execRet)); // nwwc.hide(event.target.id).then((execRet) => console.log(execRet)); // nwwc.hide(event.target.id).then((execRet) => console.log(execRet)); }); }); </script> `

I always get this error if it's pid "Number" and also if is string "windowTitle".

When I tried to edit user32.js i received empty object and window did not minimized.
Can you point me to what is wrong.

I want to make an app to control opened windows, something like windows taskbar in windows using nwjs -v 0.15.4 64bit and I am on Windows 10

try:
nwwc.hide({
matchType: 'pid',
matchValue: +event.target.id,
})
or

nwwc.hide({
matchType: 'title',
matchValue: string ,
})

Thank you for reply.

Now I get "empty" object back and still not working.

Object {err: 0, msg: "", pids: Array[0], hwnds: Array[0]}

Here is code I got for better readability:

Is the window top-level window or child window or owned window？

[genesix-eu]

I am not sure. Can I somehow check it?
I tried it on every opened window l have like cmd.exe sublime chrome task manager total commander and it always returned 0 in that object and nothing minimized.

Object {err: 0, msg: "", pids: Array[0], hwnds: Array[0]}

[waitingsong]

you can run :
npm run test
to test is there something wrong. it should all passed.

If I make script only js and start it from node it works,
If I try it from nwjs it does'nt work (I don't know why.)

I will try to make listening script only in node and pass pid from nwjs to it.

Can you suggest other modules that give me more control over windows or more examples to this module. Like maximize, restore, hide this windows and activate window below etc...

Thank you for help.

Is there any demo i can run and check it ? or would you like send a demo to me by mail

I had problems to make it work (compiling native modules) without errors in nwjs and managed to make it work in nwjs v 0.15.4 but still it returned empty object.

I tried to compile it for other version but some gave me errors about ffi module:
Something like this nwjs/nw.js#6177

When I run script in nodejs it works but in nwjs it returns empty object.

I am new in using native modules and maybe I am doing something wrong. Or maybe is some issue related to nwjs.

How can i replay the error?
I have clone the repo https://github.com/genesix-eu/taskbar

[genesix-eu]

If you reffering to this err: nwjs/nw.js#6177
I got it when I was trying to make it work with nwjs so I used:

nw-gyp configure --target=0.22.3
nw-gyp build --target=0.22.3

but I am not sure for what version I was using but I think I got it always when trying it to compile this way.
