I have an electron app where I would like to grab the email of the current user automatically. To do this I'm using edge-js,
however, after I get everything set up I get this error --

username crobinson
Platform: Win32NT
Version: 10.0.22000.0
Service Pack:
Error: System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement is not supported on this platform.
this is the relevant snippet of C# code
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;
using System.Reflection.PortableExecutable;
namespace QuickStart.Core
{
public class LocalMethods
{
public async Task<object> GetAppDomainDirectory(dynamic input)
{
return AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
}
public async Task<object> GetCurrentTime(dynamic input)
{
return DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
}
public async Task<object> UseDynamicInput(dynamic input)
{
return $".NET Core welcomes {input}";
}
public async Task<object> ThrowException(dynamic input)
{
throw new Exception("Sample Exception");
}
public async Task<object> GetCurrentUserEmail(dynamic input)
{
try
{
Console.WriteLine("username "+Environment.UserName);
OperatingSystem os = Environment.OSVersion;
Console.WriteLine($"Platform: {os.Platform}");
Console.WriteLine($"Version: {os.Version}");
Console.WriteLine($"Service Pack: {os.ServicePack}");
using (PrincipalContext context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain))
{
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, Environment.UserName);
if (user != null)
{
return user.EmailAddress;
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return $"Error: {ex.Message}";
}
return null;
}
}
}
and this is how I'm calling it in my node js application
// main.js
const { app, BrowserWindow, Tray, screen, nativeImage } = require('electron');
//const electron = require('electron');
const path = require('path');
const os = require('os');
const configFile = path.join(__dirname, 'config.json');
const fs = require('fs');
let mainWindow;
let tray;
let namespace = "QuickStart.Core"
const baseNetAppPath = path.join(__dirname, '\\src\\QuickStart.Core\\bin\\Debug\\net8.0');
process.env.EDGE_USE_CORECLR = 1;
process.env.EDGE_APP_ROOT = baseNetAppPath;
var edge = require('electron-edge-js');
var baseDll = path.join(baseNetAppPath, namespace + '.dll');
var localTypeName = 'QuickStart.Core.LocalMethods';
var externalTypeName = 'QuickStart.Core.ExternalMethods';
var getAppDomainDirectory = edge.func({
assemblyFile: baseDll,
typeName: localTypeName,
methodName: 'GetAppDomainDirectory'
});
getAppDomainDirectory('', function(error, result) {
if (error) throw error;
console.log(result);
});
var GetCurrentUserEmail = edge.func({
assemblyFile: baseDll,
typeName: localTypeName,
methodName: 'GetCurrentUserEmail'
});
GetCurrentUserEmail('', function(error, result) {
if (error) throw error;
console.log(result);
});
This seems odd because I am on Windows and the C# code even confirms this is the case.
