tsc failed to check: Property 'electronApp' does not exist on type 'Process'

[Nyaacinth]

node_modules/vite-electron-plugin/src/config.ts:123:21 - error TS2551: Property 'electronApp' does not exist on type 'Process'. Did you mean 'electron'?

123         if (process.electronApp) {
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~

(And 4 more similar issues about process.electronApp)

Seems like missing type definition

tsconfig.json

{

}

tsconfig.json

{
+ "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

It has been excluded, since “vite-electron-plugin” or “vite-plugin-electron” is imported in vite.config.ts, the source files in the package is treated as explicitly included.

tsconfig.json

    "exclude": ["node_modules"],

Consider explicitly declare them? https://github.com/electron-vite/vite-electron-plugin/blob/1cac66fa011e346c17cf9f71c65323f83790b2a2/electron-env.d.ts#L2-L12

Comparing vite-plugin-electron@0.9.3 (Passed tsc checking) and vite-electron-plugin@0.5.0 (Failed on checking), I found that types in package.json of vite-electron-plugin is set to src, That might caused tsc not checking electron-env.d.ts in the package root. So I tried to import "../electron-env" in src/index.ts of vite-electron-plugin, and that solved the issue.

But, I don't know how to solve this issue elegantly, hope this info can help you.

Thanks for your feedback! Possibly generating additional .d.ts is better :)
