Hi guys, I'm getting this error

Weird, installing htmlparser2 manually seems to solve it. 😕

very likely a dependency conflict

not enough code to comment. you are calling existsSync on something but I can't guess the code doing that.

Right, I see 2 versions of it (via yarn why)

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

const pathFile = path.join(__dirname, 'path.txt');

function getElectronPath () {
  if (fs.existsSync(pathFile)) {
    const executablePath = fs.readFileSync(pathFile, 'utf-8');
    if (process.env.ELECTRON_OVERRIDE_DIST_PATH) {
      return path.join(process.env.ELECTRON_OVERRIDE_DIST_PATH, executablePath);
    }
    return path.join(__dirname, 'dist', executablePath);
  } else {
    throw new Error('Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again');
  }
}

module.exports = getElectronPath();

using "electron": "^12.0.6",

I'm guessing you are not supposed to use that in the renderer?

I don't use electron so I really cannot help much

yes, i just want to use dialog in electron.remote

anyone had any issues with watching changes in Linux on Windows environment? I have a client, who has launched shadow-cljs watch app , then he changes a view file, but shadow doesn’t recompile. Perhaps may be some WSL issue. If shadow-cljs build is re-launched – then it updates the view. ---- UPD: My client found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66055215/emacs-cider-with-shadow-cljs-browser-settings-on-windows-wsl2-hot-code-reload/66061927#66061927, so suspicion moves strongly towards WSL conf. ---- UPD2: Fixed with SO instructions

yes, common wsl2 problem

I've done all my wsl2 development from within the linux FS and had no problems with any watchers.

same here, vim and vscode, latter has own support for editing wsl projects, works very well

the problem happens when you edit the files from windows via the mounted fs. if you edit files from within the wsl distro that is fine
