Calling deep link gives error in DispatchEventFromAppController

[lrakauskas]

What were you trying to do?

Access deep link from browser (Windows) and log test message.

What happened?

Expected behaviour

Test log message is written into laravel.log

What actually happens

The following error is thrown in logs:

How to reproduce the bug

1. Set up fresh Laravel project (I've used Laravel Vue starter kit but it shouldn't matter)
2. Add the following to .env: NATIVEPHP_DEEPLINK_SCHEME=myapp
3. Add the following route to web.php: Route::get('/deep', function () { Log::info('Deep link');})
4. Build your app (I did full build and dev build - same issue on both)
5. In your native browser call myapp://deep
6. You should have error in your laravel.log

Debug Output

"{ Environment : { PHP : { Version : 8.4.7 , Path : C:\Users\Lukas\.config\herd\bin\php84\php.exe }, Laravel : { Version : 12.14.1 , ConfigCached : false, DebugEnabled : true }, Node : { Version : v24.0.1 , Path : C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe }, NPM : { Version : 11.3.0 , Path : C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm\r\nC:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd }, OperatingSystem : WINNT }, NativePHP : { Versions : { nativephp/electron : 1.0.0.0 , nativephp/laravel : 1.0.0.0 , nativephp/php-bin : 1.0.1.0 }, Configuration : { Provider : App\Providers\NativeAppServiceProvider , BuildHooks : { Pre : [ npm run build ], Post : [] }, NotarizationEnabled : false, CustomPHPBinary : false } } }"

Which operating systems have you seen this occur on?

Windows

Notes

Note that I'm doing this on Windows, meanwhile docs for deep links are on Mobile section. Do deep links work on Windows?

Hitting myapp://deep actually boots up the app as I can see it appear in menu bar (I'm using MenuBar::create() rather than Window::open()) and app itself functions as expected.

P.S. NATIVEPHP_DEEPLINK_HOST from docs is not present in config/nativephp.php - is this actually used?

[lrakauskas]

Just to add, I've upgraded to latest Native - same error.

"{ Environment : { PHP : { Version : 8.4.7 , Path : C:\Users\Lukas\.config\herd\bin\php84\php.exe }, Laravel : { Version : 12.15.0 , ConfigCached : false, RoutesCached : false, DebugEnabled : true }, Node : { Version : v24.0.1 , Path : C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe }, NPM : { Version : 11.3.0 , Path : C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm\r\nC:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd }, OperatingSystem : WINNT }, NativePHP : { Versions : { nativephp/electron : 1.1.0.0 , nativephp/laravel : 1.1.0.0 , nativephp/php-bin : 1.0.2.0 }, Configuration : { Provider : App\Providers\NativeAppServiceProvider , BuildHooks : { Pre : [ npm run build ], Post : [] }, NotarizationEnabled : false, CustomPHPBinary : false } } }"

Moreover, what I've noticed that if app is not running and you hit a deep link myapp://deep - on first request it just boots up the app and no error is thrown but at the same time test Log message is also not added. If you hit a deep link again with app running, it throws the error.

Hi! Thanks for reporting. It seemed this issue was only effecting Windows. I've PR'ed a fix here: NativePHP/electron#241
