Weird popup in custom URL protocol

[sand123]

I implemented custom URL scheme myapp:// to handle internal links. When you click on such link for the first time, usually browser asks permission to handle custom link protocol. But in NW In 0.14.1 I've got this

Is it chromium or what?

Could you please change the system locale to English and make another
screenshot so I can read the message? Thanks.

@rogerwang: Below is a translated version (from ru-RU) of the dialog in question.

Looks like most locale bundles except en-US contain these strings (or a localized version of them).

Russian (ru-RU)

~/dev/test/nwjs-v0.14.1-win-x64 $ grep -lri "пожаловать" # part of "welcome"
locales/ru.pak

French (fr-CA)

~/dev/test/nwjs-v0.14.1-win-x64 $ grep -lri "extraterrestre" # "alien"
locales/ca.pak

Looks like the resource string is wrongly mapped to the default names given to a newly created profile:

https://github.com/nwjs/chromium.src/blob/nw14/chrome/app/generated_resources.grd#L10695

Will fix it soon.

@rdtsc thanks for screen. I've used URL scheme successfully in 0.13.x branch - with requesting permission on first launch and appropriate alert

[rogerwang]

@sand123 could you please provide a sample app?

[sand123]

@rogerwang sample.zip
Also notice that before running you should register myapp:// protocol handler - I included sample reg file inside archive with notepad.exe as destination app. Otherwise chromium won't do anything on clicking such links

[rdtsc]

@rogerwang: Based on @sand123's sample app, the following behavior is observed when testing against v0.14.1 x64:

SDK build is on the left, non-SDK (dist) build is on the right. Both instances were launched via:

nw.exe --lang=en-GB

Looks like all locales other than en-US are affected in the non-SDK builds.

Further, copying the locales dir from the SDK build to the non-SDK build seems to fix the issue and the correct resource strings start being selected:

Thanks for the sample & the testing. It's very helpful to the fix.

The root cause is that there is old locale files on the buid slave for the normal win build.

The locale files built and shipped in normal build are supposed to be only en-US.pak. Developers are supposed to copy locale files they want from SDK build. The old locale files were packaged with the new build.

For now the workaround is just replacing the pak files from SDK build. After deleting them in the build slave, the next nightly build should be fine.
