Error "The current environment does not support the specified persistence type." is shown when StyledAuthComponent is used in electron app

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to use StyledAuthComponent in an electron app.

The error

M {code: "auth/unsupported-persistence-type", message: "The current environment does not support the specified persistence type."}

is shown.

I have created a project to reproduce the error. The following steps can be used to reproduce the error

git clone https://github.com/iaaflaafc/react-firebaseui-error.git
cd react-firebaseui-error/
npm install
npm run dev

Electron is not currently officially supported by Firebase Auth. It is currently treated as a node.js server environment. In node.js server environment, only in memory persistence is supported.

Hmm, not sure why this is happening. For now, you don’t have to set it explicitly. The default and only available behavior should apply. Will try to look into this when I have time to setup an electronjs app.
