robotjs: Does not work with Electron 3.0.0 please help!
Robotjs worked with the previous version of Electron but not the new version.
Current Behavior
After install when running the app I get this error.

yea it would be great if someone can fix this, i need 3.0.0 for its later version of chromium
Don’t use electron v1.8.6. Update to the node LTS and the latest version of electron and use this:
npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=3.0.8 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=64@mnakkara ah I was not aware of that documentation, or rather I must’ve been aware of it before but I forgot haha, thank you!
@quinton-ashley did you rebuild robotjs after npm install ? I run
npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=3.0.0 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=64Robotjs mouse and keyboard are working in MacOS Mojave. You have to provide accessibility permission for the app to control your Mac. If electron Dev builds are running from vscode, you have to give permission to vscode. Usually an alert pops up asking you to give permission. I missed it the first time due to my multiple monitor seup.
