Import Not Working From Remote Require

I have a fairly large electron app I’m working on and things have generally been going ok. I want to be able to build my app in production mode so that I can start showing it around but I have been hitting snag after snag getting the build process to produce a working production Electron build.

The latest issue I’m seeing is that using import from a requireed module is failing in production builds:

(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname, process, global, Buffer) { return function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import Promise from 'bluebird';

In dev mode, everything works swimmingly. I have created a very simple app that reproduces the issue here:

https://github.com/staufman/electron-boilerplate-import-fail.git

My guess is that I have some basic misunderstanding with how require works from the renderer thread but given that everything works fine in dev but not in production, this is a bit of a head scratcher.

Note that this code is a fresh clone from the current electron-react-boilerplate but with a few small code modifications to demonstrate the issue.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You’re right. Ideally no one would have to worry about these kinds of things. I’ll investigate further to see if i can provide a solution for this
