Compiling / compression

[henriqueterada]

Hello, when I try compiling a script using compression, the neutron GUI gets corrupted. Just wondering if this is expected.

[SaifAqqad]

How are you compressing the script?

[henriqueterada]

Using autohotkey_h mpress HT

Does the neutron UI open at all? or is there a thrown error?

If it does open but the HTML is corrupted, I think it might be a script encoding issue

[henriqueterada]

Yes, neutron UI does open but HTML is corrupted.

Did you make it? I'm trying and some lines that was working when .ahk script stops when compiled. I tried even without compression and got the same result.

A way to make it work when compiled is changing this line from Neutron.ahk:

url := "res://" this.EncodeUri(A_ScriptFullPath) "/10/" fileName

if A_IsCompiled
	;url := "res://" this.EncodeUri(A_ScriptFullPath) "/10/" fileName
	url := A_WorkingDir "/" fileName
else
	url := A_WorkingDir "/" fileName

and use fileinstall to extract your dependencies. Not fancy, but HTML would be exposed with "inspect" option anyways.

@henriqueterada I can confirm for you that compilation with compression does/can work with Neutron. I do both with my scripts. You would be best to give more information on the error you are seeing.

@otomay That line is necessary for building enclosed compiled pieces. If you include your resources inside your compiled script as shown in the examples, then you can run webpages without extracting them.

@The-CoDingman Yeah, I know, it's just a workaround for anyone having trouble.
For me, when compiled and loading from RCDATA, the following lines of my html file throws errors:

    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@popperjs/[email protected]/dist/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

IDK why. I tried both compressed and uncompressed. It only works loading from local file,

[The-CoDingman]

@otomay, interesting. I'm not sure what may be causing that on your end. I just slapped them into a pre-existing script I had and it worked without any issues. What compression method are you using?

[otomay]

@The-CoDingman I tried with upx and without compression.

Maybe it's the compiler version on my personal computer. In another project on my work computer it worked nice;

On my work computer I'm with the v1.1.37.02 using U64 AutoHotKeyU64.exe in the base file and using upx to compress. When I get to my personal computer I'll share these details of it.

[The-CoDingman]

Hrm. I am using the Ahk v2 version of Neutron, it's possible that has something to do with it.

[otomay]

yeah, maybe...

Just check in my PC and I'm in the same version for ahk and v1.1.37.02a0 for compiler. Weird, basically the same.
and for base file I'm using Unicode 64.

Maybe something with base file, maybe something with the project. Gonna try a few things and let you guys know if I discover something.
