toaster does not work on Windows 10 version 1709

[devkoriel]

I tested the node-notifier on following environment using npm run example:windows command.

• Windows 10
• Version 1709
• OS Build 16299.19

However, a toast never shows up. When I test it on older version of Windows, it works perfectly.
Any others have the same issue?

The same, I rolled back to the previous version of 1703

Running SnoreToast.exe directly from command line works very fine on 1709 but toaster.js doesn't.

I can confirm. I just updated Windows and no more notifications :(

I had a similar problem, solved with anthonyraymond comment

Could you please be more specific in what I need to do to fix it?

I am using,

• Windows 10
• Version 1709
• OS Build 17025.1000

Works for me if I use 'Custompath' to 'toast' instead of 'SnoreToast'. Here is the code

var notifier = new WindowsToaster({
    withFallback: false, // Fallback to Growl or Balloons?
    customPath: 'C:\\Users\\<UserName>\\Downloads\\toaster\\toast\\bin\\Release\\toast.exe' // Relative/Absolute path if you want to use your fork of SnoreToast.exe
});

notifier.notify({
        title: "Title",
        message: "Message",
        wait: false, // Wait for User Action against Notification or times out. Same as timeout = 5 seconds
        appName: "app.id"

    }, function (error, response) {
        console.log(error, response);
    });

By running SnoreToast manually then setting appName: Snore.DesktopToasts, I was able to get SnoreToast notifications working again without using a customPath.

Hi, I am using SnoreToast in a simple compiled batch file. After 1709, my exe never returned to my code after the SnoreToast request. The problem was resolved by stopping passing over appid. My previous code was:

snoretoast -t "NAS %nasname%" -m "Shared storage mapped to drive %drive%" -appid MapNAS -p ls-wxl.png -w

Now I am using:

snoretoast -t "NAS %nasname%" -m "Shared storage mapped to drive %drive%" -p ls-wxl.png -w

The appid in the toast message appears as SnoreToast (previously MapNAS).

This should work as expected now. Reopen if any issue
