I have your test code working in Electron.

First, I assume you are trying to load dojo.js from the web. //ajax.googleapis... etc will probably attempt to pull the file from the file system. I added http: to the front of it. That allowed me to open a .html file in the browser and work. I am not sure if that was an oversight or not.

Secondly, because the browser-window has node-integration on by default, 'require' is already defined and it does not understand what you are passing to it because it expects a path not an array. If you construct your browser window with node-integration turned off it should work:

  app.on('ready', function() {  
  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600, "node-integration": false});  
  mainWindow.loadUrl('file://' + __dirname + '/index.html');
  mainWindow.openDevTools();
  mainWindow.on('closed', function() {
    mainWindow = null;
  });  
});

Note the "node-integration": false. This may cause additional issues if you want to use node integrations in your app. However, your code should work.
