The problem of "Error: Could not connect to main window." alert message

[Chun-Sheng, Li]

Hi all developers, I also try to use the solid authentication client to let the Solid App get the access token.

But I also got this alert message. My reproducing issue approaches are as follows:

• Visiting the Solid App.

I assume that it already has a Pod account then click the "登入" button.

It will present the popup windows and the captured shot are as follows:

(Noticing that the electric-data-pod.com domain is my local DNS mapping, and this domain has not registered yet.)

• Then clicking Log in button on popup window. And it will present this alert message I mention on this issue title.

• If I change the popup target https://electric-data-pod.com:8443/popup.html to the https://electric-data-pod.com:8443/common/popup.html, it will be worked.

Can anyone explain why this issue happens? Thanks.

• Then clicking the Login via popup button, it will present following window:

• Then clicking Login in button, it will present following alert message:

• If changing into the export POPUP_URI='https://electric-data-pod.com:8443/common/popup.html'; npm run start:demo command to run Solid client demo, trying to using same steps.

Then it will present following captured shot:

Node Solid Server serves the popup from /common/popup.html. Requests to other places will cause problems.
