No window frame in node-webkit (r190)

Problem Description

When previewing a game with node-webkit, or playing a game exported with node-webkit, the window frame doesn't show. This issue appeared with Construct 2 r190. I looked at both package.json and package-preview.json files in Construct's node-webkit exporter files, and in neither of them "frame" is set to false. (In package.json you can see "frame": [[[frame]]] and I had to add "frame" to package-preview.json myself since it didn't already exist, and I have set it to "frame": true but it didn't do anything.)

When exporting the game with node-webkit, I have checked the 'Window frame' box, but still have no window frame. I have also extracted the exported package.nw file and looked at the package.json file contained in it, and I can see "frame": true .

Finally, I also tried uninstalling Node-webkit for Construct 2, and reinstalling it, and it didn't solve the problem.

Same here,

Did you try reverting to an earlier version of node? 10.5 performs better than the current version anyway.

I've had the same issue with R192.

I was thinking this must be something to do with the new node 11.1.

BUT, I tried a 64bit export from r192, and I still get a normal window with Min/Max/Exit buttons.

Wonder what the difference is?

TiAm, I just reverted to Node-webkit 10.5 following your tutorial, and now it works like a charm. Maybe the developpers at Scirra should tell people to download the older version of Node-webkit-for-Construct-2 until that bug is resolved with the newer version.

I think this is a node-webkit bug fixed in v0.11.5 which we just put up at scirra.com/node-webkit. Can you confirm it's fixed there?

Works fine on my side, thanks! What about you, spacedoubt ?

Indeed! Thanks!
