not enough code to comment. you are calling existsSync on something but I can't guess the code doing that.

vinurs10:05:12

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

const pathFile = path.join(__dirname, 'path.txt');

function getElectronPath () {
  if (fs.existsSync(pathFile)) {
    const executablePath = fs.readFileSync(pathFile, 'utf-8');
    if (process.env.ELECTRON_OVERRIDE_DIST_PATH) {
      return path.join(process.env.ELECTRON_OVERRIDE_DIST_PATH, executablePath);
    }
    return path.join(__dirname, 'dist', executablePath);
  } else {
    throw new Error('Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again');
  }
}

module.exports = getElectronPath();
i found it in node_modules/electron/index.js

vinurs10:05:00

using "electron": "^12.0.6",

thheller10:05:45

I'm guessing you are not supposed to use that in the renderer?

thheller10:05:08

I don't use electron so I really cannot help much

vinurs10:05:11

yes, i just want to use dialog in electron.remote

Weird, installing htmlparser2 manually seems to solve it. πŸ˜•

thheller10:05:16

very likely a dependency conflict

anonimitoraf10:05:15

Right, I see 2 versions of it (via yarn why)

anyone had any issues with watching changes in Linux on Windows environment? I have a client, who has launched shadow-cljs watch app , then he changes a view file, but shadow doesn’t recompile. Perhaps may be some WSL issue. If shadow-cljs build is re-launched – then it updates the view. ---- UPD: My client found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66055215/emacs-cider-with-shadow-cljs-browser-settings-on-windows-wsl2-hot-code-reload/66061927#66061927, so suspicion moves strongly towards WSL conf. ---- UPD2: Fixed with SO instructions

thheller11:05:38

yes, common wsl2 problem

I've done all my wsl2 development from within the linux FS and had no problems with any watchers.

Aron13:05:07

same here, vim and vscode, latter has own support for editing wsl projects, works very well

thheller13:05:12

the problem happens when you edit the files from windows via the mounted fs. if you edit files from within the wsl distro that is fine
