### Additional context

it is bug, i have not written any code, even ``wails init -n myproject -t react`` is not working

Thanks for using Wails and reporting this.

This is currently a known issue with '2.5.0' on linux.

In the meantime you could use the build tag ‘webkit2_36’ to workaround it: ‘wails dev -tags webkit2_36’

PR #2664 is up with a fix for this.
