Trials: I have tried to add electron. yarn add electron

I have tried removing all folders in node_modules which contain electron and then running yarn install again.

I have tried removing the entire node_modules folder and then running yarn install

Having the same problem as well. I read somewhere that it has to do with Electron main and renderer proccess. I have no idea how to solve it and it's driving me crazy.
