Failed to unregister class Chrome_WidgetWin_0. Error = 203

Background

I am using Elixir Desktop (by @dominicletz ) to make an elixir desktop application:
https://github.com/elixir-desktop/desktop

And I am successfully able to launch and manage my app. However, when I close it I always get this error:

[1224/050609.437:ERROR:window_impl.cc(115)] Failed to unregister class Chrome_WidgetWin_0. Error = 203

Animation

Problems

There are actually two issues here

  1. The application takes a very long time to close after I press Quit. The message is received by Phoenix (see the I AM LEAVING log) but for some reason the window takes several seconds to close.
  2. I get the previously mentioned error

Code

At this point 90% of this HelloWorld project is code generated by mix. There are only 2 files I changes that might be relevant here:

menubar.ex

defmodule WebInterface.MenuBar do
  @moduledoc """
    Menubar that is shown as part of the main Window on Windows/Linux. In
    MacOS this Menubar appears at the very top of the screen.
  """
  import WebInterface.Gettext
  use Desktop.Menu
  alias Desktop.Window

  @impl Desktop.Menu
  def render(assigns) do
    ~H"""
    <menubar>
      <menu label={gettext("File")}>
          <hr/>
          <item onclick="quit"><%= gettext "Quit" %></item>
      </menu>
      <menu label={gettext("Extra")}>
          <item onclick="browser"><%= gettext "Open Browser" %></item>
      </menu>
    </menubar>
    """
  end

  @impl Desktop.Menu
  def handle_event("quit", menu) do
    IO.puts("I AM LEAVING")
    Window.quit()
    {:noreply, menu}
  end

  def handle_event("browser", menu) do
    WebInterface.Endpoint.url()
    |> Window.prepare_url()
    |> :wx_misc.launchDefaultBrowser()

    {:noreply, menu}
  end

  @impl Desktop.Menu
  def mount(menu) do
    {:ok, menu}
  end

  @impl Desktop.Menu
  def handle_info(:changed, menu) do
    {:noreply, menu}
  end
end

applications.ex

defmodule WebInterface.Application do
  # See https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Application.html
  # for more information on OTP Applications
  @moduledoc false

  use Application

    alias Desktop

  @impl true
  def start(_type, _args) do
    children = [
      WebInterface.Telemetry,
      {Phoenix.PubSub, name: WebInterface.PubSub},
      WebInterface.Endpoint,
      {Desktop.Window,
       [
         app: :web_interface,
         id: WebInterface,
         title: "Web Interface",
         size: {600, 500},
         menubar: WebInterface.MenuBar,
         url: &WebInterface.Endpoint.url/0
       ]}
    ]

    opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: WebInterface.Supervisor]
    Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
  end

  @impl true
  def config_change(changed, _new, removed) do
    WebInterface.Endpoint.config_change(changed, removed)
    :ok
  end
end

I am hoping this error is caused by either a miss configuration or some function I am not implementing correctly.

How can I fix this error?

So in 1) it’s closing immediately but in 2) it just crashes? I’ll check what’s going on there.

Unfortunately the error message is coming directly from chrome 113008 - chromium - An open-source project to help move the web forward. - Monorail and is a know open issue. I don’t see an immediate way to get rid of it.

I’ve definitely seen this before but thought it to be something in my app. Thanks for this minimal example. I’ll have a look into this sometime next week

For convience’s sake, here is the MWE app:

PS: I have added bakeware (GitHub - bake-bake-bake/bakeware: Compile Elixir applications into single, easily distributed executable binaries) to the app. It is optional, but it replicates the issue in the exe file, so I think it can be a good point of reference as well.

And thank you for having a look at this!

The only thing I found was this old post for 2016:

Not sure what to do with it to be honest, specially when I don’t even have Chrome on my VM, I only use Firefox.

@dominicletz Hey there, did you have some time to check the application out? If there is something I can do to help (that fits my limited ability within this domain) please do share!
