Why did window.go.main get undefined ???

[ruierzhao]

When I was building an interface using Wails + React, I encountered a very confusing problem: after creating a new project with wails init, everything worked fine. However, as I happily developed the front end partway and needed to use Go to write interfaces, I found that no matter what I did, I could not access variables under the Go namespace anymore. I kept cleaning up the parts I had already built, continuously comparing them with the init project, but I couldn't figure out what I did wrong until I slowly transplanted the entire project into a completely new one. That's when I discovered the issue: I used a frontend library calledgojs- it exports a namespace called go, which overrode the Go namespace within my Wails project!!!

hope this will be of help to you

1. edit wails/v2/internal/frontend/runtime/runtime_debug_desktop.js file 248:window.go = {};
2. edit wails/v2/internal/binding/generate.go file 84: jsoutput.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf(" return window['go']['%s']['%s']['%s'](%s);", packageName, structName, methodName, argsString))

Thanks for taking the time to write this up! 🙏 Does making those changes prevent gojs overwriting that object?
