Issue with Electon 16

See original GitHub issue

node:electron/js2c/renderer_init:73 Error: @electron/remote is disabled for this WebContents. Set {enableRemoteModule: true} in WebPreferences to enable it.

enableRemoteModule is set true and remote is initialized in main. Worked fine with Electron 15.

Think I found a possible fix for now.

Enabling the remote module within renderer doesn’t do anything. It seems to only have an effect in main.

Calling it within a ‘browser-window-created’ event should work.

app.on('browser-window-created', (_, window) => {
    require("@electron/remote/main").enable(window.webContents)
})
