Electron window is not launching about google-assistant-unofficial-desktop-client

[Melvin-Abraham]

I have added a new commit which includes addition of "Open DevTools" option in tray icon context menu. Launch the assistant as usual (via any of the two methods) and then click "Open DevTools". If there are any errors logged in the DevTools console, do specify in here...

@Melvin-Abraham DevTools option gave a great head start. The issue was due to having dual screens with different orientation. The app defaults to open in the center of the screenspace, hence was hidden in the non visible area.

Would it be possible to align the app within one screen?

@sayoojsamuel Can you check if this commit helps?

[Melvin-Abraham]

The warning in the terminal is expected considering the native module grpc is not context aware as of now. Also, the app has to be launched by Super + Shift + A keyboard shortcut (refer to this). You can also launch the assistant by right-clicking the tray icon and selecting "Launch Assistant" option.

@Melvin-Abraham so I had already tried both the methods. However, the same error is logged in the terminal.

Just to get some idea about the display, can you execute electron.remote.screen.getAllDisplay() and electron.remote.screen.getPrimaryDisplay() in the DevTools and share the log?

Running electron.remote.screen.getPrimaryDisplay() yields

electron.remote.screen.getPrimaryDisplay()

Running electron.remote.screen.getAllDisplays() return the following

Thank you @sayoojsamuel, I'll look into that...

[sayoojsamuel]

I suppose this issue is now resolved. The Display Preferences option is working perfectectly.
