Can not launch window from render process about electron-window-manager HOT 5 CLOSED

I know this is an old issue, just wanted to leave a note for others that might have the issue. loadURL() is the wrong method to be using in this situation. Before a window is open()ed, setURL() is used to define the window url if it is not done as part of createNew(). loadURL() is done after open(). Example code:

var win2 = windowManager.createNew('win2', 'Windows #2');
win2.setURL('https://www.facebook.com');
win2.open();
win2.loadURL('https://www.google.com');

Hi there

I am not sure, it's been awhile since I last updated (or used) this library, or Electron for that matter. Try to debug more and If you find a solution please make PR.

Good luck

Hey I got the same issue,

Started a clean electron-quick-start-master on windows 10, and added the following code to to the index.html:

` var remote = require('electron').remote;
var windowManager = remote.require('electron-window-manager');

// Create a new window
var win2 = windowManager.createNew('win23', 'Windows #2');
win2.loadURL('/test.html');
win2.open();`

This gives the same error as above mentioned. (used different urls, like direct file, http and https)

I tried to find where the index.js of the electron-window-manager crashes, this happens on line 303:
instance.content().loadURL(url, options);
Before this line everything runs, after that line it doesn't.

Code works when you define the url in the createNew function:
var win2 = windowManager.createNew('win2', 'Windows #2', "http://example.com", false, {}, false); win2.open();

I cant debug further because I cant find something that has to do with content().
Instance just returns the saved window data.

Confirmed that line 303 works fine when loadURL function is not directly called.

It's also hinted in the README.md, just under setURL :)

... to open a URL after the window is open use loadURL().

-- I just noticed that the readme has an example using loadURL instead of setURL while the description of loadURL is also not very clear :-/
