I got Electron working using the "fix/node13" branch of robotJS, Electron 7.1.2, which uses Node 12.8.2.

I had to rebuild robotjs with the following command to get it to bind against the right version of node:

npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=7.1.2 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=75

A new version of robotjs supporting the latest NodeJS version will be published soon.
