Using with electron-prebuilt-compile

See original GitHub issue

Version: 20.28.7

Target: Windows

Early this year I opened an issue regarding electron-prebuilt-compile (#2361) and, although the issue at that time was fixed, I’m still having some issues.

package.json:

{
  "name": "ipfs-desktop",
  "private": true,
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "productName": "IPFS Desktop",
  "description": "IPFS Native Application",
  "main": "src/index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "electron .",
    "lint": "standard",
    "pack": "electron-builder --dir",
    "dist": "electron-builder"
  },
  // ...
  "build": {
    "appId": "io.ipfs.desktop",
    "mac": {
      "category": "public.app-category.utilities"
    }
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "electron-builder": "^20.28.4",
    "electron-prebuilt-compile": "^3.0.0",
    "pre-commit": "^1.2.2",
    "standard": "^12.0.1"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "fs-extra": "^7.0.0",
    "ipfs-css": "^0.10.0",
    "react": "^16.5.2",
    "react-dom": "^16.5.2",
    "tachyons": "^4.11.1"
  }
}

AFAICS, the original poster got around by ditching electron-prebuilt-compile and setting up babel instead (with using babel-register in development and pointing to compiled js folder for production). I ran into the same issue and resolved by following what he did. Just sharing the information in case someone else needs it.

See his commit here.
