Grpc-web: GRPC within service worker / web worker

[peteringram0]

Im trying to run GRPC from inside a service worker. It works fine from inside the main application thread and only throws an error from inside a service worker.

typescript const media = new MediaServiceClient(process.env.VUE_APP_GRPC) media.index(pagination, headers)

Error:
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: e.serializeBinary is not a function

Im assuming this is due to how GRPC communicates to the backend services and assuming this is not possible to do at the moment?

Thanks

We have a patch in google-closure to support service workers (via fetch) and will try to get the change to github soon.

@wenbozhu has this been resolved yet?

@travikk if it's any use to hear, we've been using grpc-web in web workers without a problem.

How so? The generated code references window object which is not available in web worker. @markns
