I also tried to use 16.20.1 node version and latest version of node 18.17 but still have that error.

Hello, thank you for using Retron template!

I don't know much about the electron-pos-printer module, but I've seen a lot of installation issues registered as GitHub Issues. Can you determine if this module is working properly in the latest electron environment?

Also, here are some speculative causes:

  1. Retron is optimized for ESM and you may need to use import instead of require.
  2. some modules should be run in the Main process instead of running in the Renderer process.

If you're still experiencing issues, I'd like you to share a simple Electron project that I can reproduce.

Regards,

hi, thank you for your response,

I also try some of thermal printer package and still have error in "Dynamic require", and in my code i didnt use require, the issue came from node modules. im almost 80% of my project but im looking forward to find out how to fix the "Dynamic require"
