Homework

I took the time to write a good, descriptive issue title
I read nativefier --help and API.md.
I checked CATALOG.md for community suggestions & workarounds.
I searched existing issues, open & closed. Yes, my bug is new.
I'm running the latest version.

Nativefier command

nativefier "https://messages.google.com/web" "$target" --icon "$HOME/Pictures/Icons/android-messages-logo.png" --name "Android Messages" --platform "linux" --tray --portable --honest --single-instance --disable-dev-tools

Steps to reproduce

For years, I have been generating a google messages app, using the following command...

bash

nativefier \
	"https://messages.google.com/web" \
	"$target" \
	--icon "$HOME/Pictures/Icons/android-messages-logo.png" \
	--name "Android Messages" \
	--platform "linux" \
	--tray \
	--portable \
	--honest \
	--single-instance \
	--disable-dev-tools

Which now results, in a white-page, and errors:

[340658:0831/162758.368168:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times! [340658:0831/162758.374503:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 2 times! [340658:0831/162802.299317:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 3 times!

If I run it with just "https://messages.google.com", it works, but clicking the "Messages for web" link, it results in a whitepage again, and the errors above.

Expected behavior

The website is presented.

Actual behavior

Whitepage, with the error: ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed

Debug info

Running in verbose mode! This will produce a mountain of logs and is recommended only for troubleshooting or if you like Shakespeare.

Hi! Nativefier is minimally maintained these days, and needs more hands.
If you have the time & motivation, help with bugfixes and maintenance is VERY welcome.
Please go to https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier and help how you can. Thanks.

Finalizing build... App built to $HOME/Applications/android-messages/AndroidMessages-linux-x64, move to wherever it makes sense for you and run the contained executable file (prefixing with ./ if necessary) Menu/desktop shortcuts are up to you, because Nativefier cannot know where you're going to move the app. Search for "linux .desktop file" for help, or see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_entries
