Yesterday, I was developing on Electron perfectly fine. Then I hop onto my computer to realize Electron isn't working at all now.
I removed node_modules
and did a fresh npm install
package.json:
... "devDependencies": { "devtron": "^1.4.0", "electron": "^1.4.7" }, "dependencies": { "electron-debug": "^1.1.0" } ...
This is the error I got.
I followed the suggestions used of previous issues of this problem. Nothing is resolving it.
Electron is not installed globally. Everything should be self contained in the directory.
Most of this code was taken from electron boilerplate
Edit:
main process:
'use strict'; const path = require('path'); const electron = require('electron'); const app = electron.app; // adds debug features like hotkeys for triggering dev tools and reload require('electron-debug')({ showDevTools: true }); // prevent window being garbage collected let mainWindow; function onClosed() { // dereference the window // for multiple windows store them in an array mainWindow = null; } function createMainWindow() { const display = electron.screen.getPrimaryDisplay(); const win = new electron.BrowserWindow({ width: display.workArea.width, height: display.workArea.height }); const projectPath = path.dirname(path.dirname(__dirname)); win.loadURL(`file://${projectPath}/static/index.html`); win.on('closed', onClosed); return win; } app.on('window-all-closed', () => { if (process.platform !== 'darwin') { app.quit(); } }); app.on('activate', () => { if (!mainWindow) { mainWindow = createMainWindow(); } }); app.on('ready', () => { mainWindow = createMainWindow(); });
