I'm trying to create my first package with nwjs, so I created a simple app with only nwjs module installed locally with npm. My app main file has only a console.log("Hello World!")
. I zipped the app files - keeping them in the root - and renamed to app.nw
. I basically followed this doc. The package tree is the following:
app.nw
- node_modules
- nw (and all its files inside)
- package.json
- app.js
And my package.json
is:
{
"name": "app3",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "app.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"window": {
// Some properties here
}
}
Then I created an empty folder and copied app.nw
to it. From the module folder /nw/nwjs
I copied the files: nw.exe
, nw.dll
, nw_elf.dll
and ffmpeg.dll
to it, and dragged app.nw
over nw.exe
. The debug.log file shows me the following error:
[0524/110408:ERROR:icu_util.cc(157)] Invalid file descriptor to ICU data received. [0524/110408:FATAL:icu_util.cc(260)] Check failed: result.
I can't find anything related to this error and this tool over the web. I'm running it in a Win7 x64. I also tryied downloading nwjs manually from github and tryied with x64 and x86 binaries, but they all give me the same error.
Below, the backtrace if needed:

What am I missing here?
I got it to work with the following package.json
:
{
"name": "app4",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.html",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"single-instance": true,
"package": ".json",
"window": {
"title": "app4",
"toolbar": false
}
}
I'm actually not sure what specific property which I removed/added to made it to work. Then I zipped it to package.nw
and put in the same folder as nw.exe
to run it.
