In my application, I am creating Edge environment using CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithDetails
. Right now it is creating a folder next to my exe as "myexe.WebView2"
, which I don't want.
So I am passing "C:\\Users\\username>\\AppData\\Local\\MicrosoftEdge
as an UserDataFolder
.
But still it is creating an empty folder "Myexe.webview2"
in my application folder.
Here is sample to show how I am passing arguments.
HRESULT hr = CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithDetails(folderName, L"C:\\Users\\<myUSer>\\AppData\\Local\\MicrosoftEdge", NULL, Callback<ICoreWebView2CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentCompletedHandler>
I knew that edge creates a folder in app local folder as an default location when NULL
is passed for UserDataFolder
. But here I am giving location for UserDataFolder
.
So the questions are:
"myexe.WebView2"
in default location, when I am passing "userDataFolder"
?Update:
We have been using this version for a while. Upgrading to latest version will be done in future.
For now, the code uses CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithDetails
.
What you describe is a bug. If you still see this behavior with the latest SDK, please open an issue against our WebView2 feedback GitHub repo and we can look into it. Thanks!
