Error during fetch i18n files in Electron

Please describe your issue and provide steps to reproduce it:

In electron environment, we report the following error when the WebViewer initializes:

The Fetch API cannot load … traslation-en.json the URL schema file is not supported.

This is due to the fact that PDFJSDocumentType attempts a fetch () on the file, but this is not supported.

Is there any way to solve the problem?

Hello i.catanzaro,

Welcome to the PDFTron community forum!

I noticed theres a typo in The Fetch API cannot load … traslation-en.json the URL schema file is not supported. it should be translation-en.json, this could possibly be the issue. Where was this error located?

Could you also post a screenshot of the console and network tab? as this could be a CORS issue

My mistake, the typo has nothing to do with it.

Attached is a print of the console.

PDFJSDocumentType attempts a fetch with a url of type “file: //”. and fails (remember we are in Electron environment).

In web environment is all ok.
