Electron 4.0 app fails to start due to missing fs.statSyncNoException

carfieldca commented 6 years ago

App threw an error during load TypeError: _fs2.default.statSyncNoException is not a function at findPackageJson (C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\electron-prebuilt-compile\lib\es6-init.js:25:20) at main (C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\electron-prebuilt-compile\lib\es6-init.js:44:23) at Object.

Just like issue of electron https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/15092 or issue of electron-compile https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-compile/pull/312

Same issue.

I confirm this issue as well. The problem is in the latest version (4.0.0-beta.5), previous version works fine.

dev-zetta commented 6 years ago

This error will happen in the v3.0.6 as well, as its just renamed version from 4.0.0. beta.

Same issue with anything later than electron-prebuilt-compile@2.0.8. With 3.0.6 I get this associated with a black buggy window:

I am having this issue as well. Running latest.

Same problem here 😢 waiting for #72 merge.

seifsg commented 5 years ago

Can we please have a fix for this merged? It is affecting everyone trying to start a new project using the boilerplate.

loongmxbt commented 5 years ago

Same issue.

@paulcbetts has fixed this in electron-compile 6.4.4: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-compile/commit/ba68a7c092bd45f2ccb9f1b4cc01b51fa2a0528b

cdietschrun commented 5 years ago

I'm sorry, it's unclear to me how to consume this fix. I have electron-prebuilt-compile dependency of 4.0.0, I don't specify any electron-compile dependency anywhere (I thought that was the point)?

malept commented 5 years ago

Update your package-lock.json or yarn.lock. As you can see, electron-compile is a dependency of electron-prebuilt-compile: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-prebuilt-compile/blob/613040d54d7602c218aacb3ae1d0271fd1e797a9/package.json#L40

cdietschrun commented 5 years ago

I'm sorry, I'm back on this, but this is still unclear to me. My package.json just has

"electron-prebuilt-compile": "3.0.10",

and when I switch to "^4.0.0" I get the errors here. What exactly are you suggesting I update? Why do I have to do any of these updates? Why doesn't the latest version of prebuilt-compile already have a version that doesn't have this issue?

cdietschrun commented 5 years ago

I got rid of my yarn.lock and reran yarn and it seems to have worked. I'm new to yarn and npm as well, but I thought just running yarn was supposed to update everything?

malept commented 5 years ago

No, yarn and recent NPM have added the concept of "lock" files, which prevent upgrades unless they're explicitly told to do so. For more information about yarn and lock files: https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/yarn-lock/
