Usage with Electron

[publicvirtualvoid]

Is it possible to use clinic.js with Electron? I love the way this works but am dealing with some performance bottlenecks in an Electron application.

Honestly, I haven't used it in an electron app. But, certainly is a doable feature.

Is it throwing an error?

Hey folks! Any idea how you would use this with electron app.

My dev script in package.json is NODE_ENV=development electron ./dist/main.cjs and when I update it with clinic doctor -- NODE_ENV=development electron ./dist/main.cjs it throws following error:

Clinic.js must be called with a `node` command line: `clinic doctor -- node script.js`

Ideas?

[RafaelGSS]

Try: clinic doctor -- node ./node_modules/.bin/electron ./dist/main.cjs

Thank you @RafaelGSS! This was helpful to get it started.

However, on my side, I can get it started and it opens up the dashboard page. However, the process is crashing on the CLI. Here are the logs:

$ NODE_ENV=development clinic doctor -- node ./node_modules/.bin/electron ./dist/main.cjs

Could you create a reproducible code? Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example.
