[desktop app] Can't submit Dropbox login credentials

[WTurunen]

Syncing to Dropbox app, I can't sign in to Dropbox. The Sign in button remains disabled when the email address and password are entered.

Also the placeholder text stays while editing the fields.

What OS do you use?

Maybe I'm wrong, bug judging from the screenshot, it seems like Dropbox "Sign in" page hasn't finished loading.

[WTurunen]

I'm on Windows 10 64bit.

I've waited for several minutes with a 100M connection and the button remains disabled. The Dropbox-icon and forgot password links work.

[wwebfor]

I see. We will try to figure out what is causing the problem later. Thanks for your bug report.

It seems like the fields are not recognized as filled in. You could try to use tab to navigate from one field to another instead of using the mouse. Maybe then it is recognized?

[WTurunen]

I tried using tab, as I usually do, and with mouse, but no changes - the button remains disabled either way.

[claell]

Alright, thanks for trying.

I have the same issue but on Mac OSX . I am unable to enter my dropbox authorization credentials.

I have the same on Linux Ubuntu 15.10 64bits but only on desktop version. Dropbox sync is working on web version.

@wwebfor Having experienced this problem I spent some time working on it to find out why it happens. AssertionError: path must be a string was thrown by the Dropbox OAuth page, meaning the Javascript stuff being loaded by the site was conflicting with Electron / Node's require method.

Since it's loaded by an external site we can't inject stuff to override the require methods as is being done in app/index.html. The simplest way is to disable node-integration altogether when constructing BrowserWindow by setting it to false (Not sure whether this breaks anything but the tests pass..)

I have also made an Electron AuthDriver that only disables node-integration on the OAuth page, although you will have to add https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/redirect_receiver to your redirect URI in the Dropbox Console.

Tell me if either one of these is fine and I'll send in a PR if needed :)

[wwebfor]

@zweicoder we left node-integration enabled because of the issue #262, so it is preferable to have access to Nodejs API.

I guess the safest choice is to disable node-integration on all pages except for the pages which contain strings like localhost or file://. Although, I am not sure if it is possible to do that.

Hi @ajn123 @mmdavid @zweicoder @valvin1 @arulk @claell @WTurunen

Unfortunately, this issue will never be fixed here.

Please report to #971 (comment) for the current state of this project and https://github.com/encryptic-team/encryptic for the future of this project.

Have a nice day/night.

Cheers,
