child_process issue in packaged output #33

Closed georgeneil closed 3 years ago

georgeneil commented 3 years ago

In App.tsx ` const childProcess = require('child_process') const App = () => {

childProcess.exec('npm -v', (error, stdout, stderr) => { if (error) { alert('Error') return } alert(stdout.toString()) })

return ( <>

</> ) }

Working fine in Development mode. But getting 'Error' alert while running the packaged output ?

With the new Electron releases we cannot call Node.js modules directly from renderer process anymore, now you have to use the bridge file to communicate between renderer and main process.

I did a full refactor of the structure to include this option, take a look at 6acba3b654ee6a56ccd591a9fae157e957abd269.
