Description

This is the setup for showing the Menubar and the Desktop app.

The index.html content is shown for the website and the desktop app but does not show anything in the menubar, just a white blank screen.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem
  1. I have a basic electron project setup with a electron.js file with menubar js code for creating a menubar and the basic code for creating a window. And I am linking the index.html to both.
Expected Behaviour

Its supposed to show the same index.html content that it shows for the desktop app, for the menubar as well.

Actual Behaviour

But it's not showing anything in the menubar, but shows the index.html content in the website and the desktop app.

Specifications
  • Menubar version: "menubar": "^9.2.3",
  • Platform: M1
  • Electron version: "electron": "^22.0.2",

Research direction

Start with the electron.js menubar setup and the shared index.html entry point, then reproduce the blank menubar window using the reported Electron 22.0.2 and menubar 9.2.3 versions on the specified platform. Compare how the same index.html is loaded in the desktop app and website. Done means the menubar displays the expected index.html content instead of a blank white screen.
