Upgrade Electron version in existing project

I would like to see documentation on how to best upgrade the electron version in a pre-existing project built with this plugin. Currently running electron ^3.1.9 and feeling like a dinosaur.

I considered re-adding electron-builder and forcing the initial prompt so I can pick ^6..., then manually fixing any changed files such as background.js.

If there is an existing issue with this info please just let me know! Hoping to get back to a more modern version of electron.

Thanks!

Have you tried rm -ring node_modules and then running yarn? I haven’t seen that specific error, but I have seen similar issues with node_gyp. The second error is because you need to manually enable nodeintegration on electron 5.0+ (not sure on the exact version), I forgot to mention that. To do this, add this to the config argument of new BrowserWindow:

webPreferences: {
  nodeIntegration: true
}

I hear ya,

Definitely agree that none of those things should matter. Just not sure what ended up doing the trick in the end.

Thanks for your help!
