fail to execute the compiled binary after devtools is open

[Christywl]

======== TEMPLATE BUG FORM ========

NWJS Version : nwjs-sdk-v0.31.3
Operating System : Linux/Windows

Expected behavior

Could load and execute the compiled binary after devtools is open

Actual behavior

fail to Load and execute the compiled binary after devtools is open. When click the button, the compiled binary isn't executed.

How to reproduce

1. create a simple app
2. compile the JS source code
3. launch the app with nwjs and open the devtools
4. click 'Test' button and check the console log in Devtools

Example:
package.json:

{
  "name":"test",
  "main":"index.html" 
}

index.html:

<script>
function test() {
nw.Window.get().evalNWBin(null, 'test.bin');
console.log("test2");
}
test()

</script>
<button onclick="test()">Test</button>

test.js:
console.log('test1');

test1 only outputs once.

If click 'Test' button firstly, and then open the devtools, test1 only outputs normally.

+1 I also encounter this, was trying to debug it myself, but... can't find what causing this

update:
tested this with nw14, evalNWBin never works if run from devtools

+1 this is occurring for me on 0.27.5. Exactly as described, if devtools is open evalNWBin() doesn't appear to work on page load.

Related bug may be #3388 which originally was about it failing to load on refresh but it transpires that having devtools open will indeed cause that to be the case (i.e. if I navigate back to the affected page, from a page that doesn't use evalNWBin(), with devtools open evalNWBin does not work)

A short, rubbish workaround to stop me getting caught out and trapped in a blank UI (which is what happens for me if that code doesn't run), I've tried the following. It works but needless to say not ideal!

require('nw.gui').Window.get().closeDevTools(); //force devtools to close if I forgot to close it
setTimeout(function() //wait a little for devtools to die before attempting to load binaries
{
	console.log("Loading binaries");
	require('nw.gui').Window.get().evalNWBin(null, 'binaries/globals.bin');
	require('nw.gui').Window.get().evalNWBin(null, 'binaries/i.bin');
}, 50);
