Bumping up electron-devtools-installer to ^3.1.1 solved the problem.

[MatthewEppelsheimer]

@amilajack Hey I just ran into this myself. The same fix worked, but I’m wondering is there’s any reason not to just bump the electron-devtools-installer version to ^3.1.1 in this repo’s package.json. It seems that a handful of folks are running into this, and updating the dependency would save others having to track this down. I’m happy to send a PR for this if you’d like.
