PhoneGap windows application hangs on load

[jbenrochon]

Hi,
PhoneGap hangs on load when I open it. (I see spinner icon eternally)
I downloaded bot the install and the zip 0.4.5 version which are ran as Administrator:
PhoneGap-Desktop-Beta-0.4.5-win
I have windows 7.
I am behind a firewall.

I'm not too network savvy but I think that the firewall might be the problem because I have no problems at home.

So I installed node.js to be able to set commands via the CLI (command line) to set a proxy so that I can use PhoneGap Desktop.

I try npm install -g phonegap@latest

I get an error ECONNRESET and then suggest to setup a proxy

I then try
npm config set proxy http://myproxy
It seems to work but I'm not sure because when I do npm config list I see ; proxy = null

I get same error after entering set proxy command.

Is there something I am doing wrong ?

Anything I missed ?

Thanks,

Hi @jbenrochon,

Unfortunately the desktop app does not support using proxies. So even though you are using proxy settings in npm and the phonegap cli it will not cross over to the desktop.

Ok thanks for the info,
Do you plan on including that proxy feature in the next release ?

Unfortunately there is no plan to add a proxy feature for the next release.
