Additional Information

When executing BrowserWindow.loadURL or loadFIle to load a file or web page and the loading has not been completed (success or failure), the Electron app will crash when loadURL or loadFile is called again.

In this gist you can click the test "click here twice quickly" to reproduce this error. Suggest trying when the network is slow or click fast.

#19847 I found a similar problem and it seems to have been solved, but why does it appear again?

Dec 21 '23 07:12 Jimmy0769

const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron');

// Create a new BrowserWindow const win = new BrowserWindow();

// Track the loading state let isLoading = false;

// Function to load a URL with error handling function loadUrlWithRetry(url) { if (!isLoading) { isLoading = true; win.loadURL(url) .then(() => { isLoading = false; }) .catch((error) => { console.error('Error loading URL:', error); isLoading = false; // You can implement retry logic here if needed }); } }

// Example usage loadUrlWithRetry('https://example.com');

In my project, it happens when loadUrl(1.html) -> location.replace(2.html) -> location.replace(1.html) => crashed! But when i set plugin false, this problem disappeares(the flash plugin is set)

Jan 29 '24 06:01 SituDana

It looks very much like this also happens with Electron 27. I used Electron fiddle with https://gist.github.com/trungutt/411a6b6161273367f5aee598d9585770
