Using fs, path and child_process only possible in background.ts

I instaled vue with latest version of vue-cli and npm, chose typescript and added the builder. I tried to import child_process from the helloWorld component but on riuntime it is an empty object. In the background.ts it works. For some reason vscode tells me that ther is no electron-devtools-installer (in background.ts). But it throws no error. this is the working import in background.ts import * as child from 'child_process'; console.log(child); Do I have to pass the variable in some way to the vue app?

You will have to enable nodeIntegration to use native node modules in the renderer process. Please try that and let me know if it works.

For security reason I created a preload.js in between of the background.js and the renderer (VUE component). While sending messages with IPC ExampleComponent.vue --> Preload.js --> background.js just works fine, I can’t get a simple console.log() statement out of the preload.js. It always appears directly in the chromium browser console but should appear in the normal terminal (or VUE UI).
