getting a blank/empty window when trying to open a webpage

Specification

  • pywebview version: 5.1
  • operating system: Windows 10
  • web renderer: chromium (I think)

Description

Used example in simple_browser.py and am getting a blank/empty window. Web page appears with QtWebEngine and with webbrowser. System is an internal network. Glad to try whatever troubleshooting I can on my end.

Practicalities

  • NO, I am willing to work on this issue myself.

  • NO, I am prepared to support this issue financially.

Are there any errors?

commented

Not getting any errors.
Tried another web address and was asked for login credentials, whereas webbrowser will open a new tab in an existing browser without asking for login credentials.
The particular site that is blank/empty quickly goes from a white background to a gray background upon closer inspection. Attaching screen shot below.

Are you using PyQT? This looks like a known issue, which is solved by disabling sandbox mode in qt.py line 49 for a selected platform.

Other than that, I suggest using Edge Chromium on Windows.

I have PyQT installed in the environment, but I am not using PyQT in the code. I'm just using the example from simple_browser.py. Would this still be a problem?

I tried some other websites, and I am seeing those display in the browser. So, maybe it's just an issue with the configuration of certain websites?

It is a known QT problem with a fix for selected platforms here. Adding your platform there should help.

pywebview/webview/platforms/qt.py

Line 49 in 99f18d0

if is_webengine and QtCore.QSysInfo.productType() in ['arch', 'manjaro', 'nixos', 'rhel', 'pop']:

I recommend using EdgeChromium webview2 over QT on Windows, though

I added 'windows' as a platform after running QtCore.QSysInfo.productType(), and I still get the white to gray screen.

I also tried with webview.start(gui='edgechromium'), and I still get the white to gray screen.

Please let me know if you think of anything else, and thank you for your help!
