Hey there.
I try to manage to get a Node server running inside the electron app.
What should be possible as far I found out.
I made a express app.js witch is included in the index.js
The server is listening to port 3000.
app.js :
... other code
const app = express();
const publicPath = path.resolve(__dirname, '../dist');
const port = 3000;
var router = (module.exports = express.Router());
router.post('/api/xml', function (req, res) {
if (err) {
log.warn('Error: ' + err);
return res.end('Error: ' + err);
} else {
log.info('Request body: ' + req.body);
}
});
const server = app.listen(port, () =>
log.info(`Express server listening on port ${port}`) <-- Which is called
);
... other code
But if I send a http request from the app
... other code
const request = new HttpRequest(
'POST',
'http://localhost:3000/api/xml',
formData,
options
);
return this.http.request(request);
... other code
I get the error inside the dev tools (electron):
“Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED”
I cannot find a good way to debug this.
Any advice?
Is localhost the right host inside electron?
Thanks in advance!
