#236 works for me, too.

I opened an issue for the dependency packaging: https://github.com/KochiyaOcean/electron-react-titlebar/issues/27

If it works for you - please approve the PR?

Cool, thanks! This patch seems to be working for me:

We shouldn’t need #236 – it doesn’t fix the problem at all, only hides it.

package-lock.json should already lock the dependencies, so we should be instead thinking about how to make sure electron-builder uses that properly.

But this problem is much mysterious: it looks like electron-react-titlebar@1.2.0 has the @1.1.0 bundles in its dist directory! The files in src are correct an reference electron-window, but the bundles are just outdate. I suspect this is a packaging error in electron-react-titlebar and I’ll raise an issue there.

In the meantime, we should lock electron-react-titlebar@1.1.0 with two TODOs:

Bump to 1.2.0 when the packaging error is fixed.
Try to make electron-builder respect package-lock.json

This is the error I see on my mac with build 57. Uncaught Error: Cannot find module ‘react-virtualized’

Downloaded the built binaries from GH, nightly 56 works, while nightly 57 doesn’t - tested on my mac.

#235 signals the same problem on Manjaro and W11.

nathanaelhoun on Jun 12, 2022

no, unfortunately not. I am currently trying to find the responsible commit, but given my very limited experience with npm, this might take a while
