Cannot Search in Encrypted Rooms in Schildichat Desktop (Windows 10) due to "missing components"

[PaarthShah]

SchildiChat version: 1.9.7-sc.1
Olm version: 3.2.8

Element Desktop, installed on the side, does not have this same problem, and encrypted messages can be searched as-expected.

Error:

Message search

SchildiChat is missing some components required for securely caching encrypted messages locally. If you'd like to experiment with this feature, build a custom SchildiChat Desktop with search components added.

I understand this has been brought up before, and I'm planning to investigate myself as well in my spare time, but I wanted to make an issue to track it/source ideas from anyone else who might be able to help.

I've tried setting up a dev environment on Windows 10 and have documented it here: https://gist.github.com/su-ex/2a456e368f4abcda2c9c2e737a67d89d
Sadly it got stuck on missing patch, although it should have definitely been there.
Maybe you / somebody else has an idea how to get this working, I'm out of ideas.

If you're trying to replicate this, note that you need to change yarn dist to yarn build in the web block of the Makefile.

I can confirm this on windows 11 with the latest build. I also built the windows portable from source and it was still not working.

I would consider this a critical issue tbh.

I am not entirely certain what you mean by this, however, if you are looking to build this while on a windows machine I would recommend using the ubuntu WSL subsystem, installing the packages listed for the debian build along with installing wine32 (I installed wine64 too) by following this guide here along with mono and then just the zip package on apt-get to top it off. That's how I got it to build on a windows PC. I am not entirely sure all the steps I took but it should be similar to that. I did not really test the client thoroughly, just long enough to check if search worked.

@Dalethium That's how I build for Windows currently. The problem with this approach is that search in encrypted rooms doesn't work this way. And this is what this issue is about and that's why I tried building on Windows natively. 😉

Should be addressed starting with https://github.com/SchildiChat/schildichat-desktop/releases/tag/v1.11.81-sc.0.test.0 .
