Unfortunately, this is the only reason stopping me from using this awesome lib. I can’t figure out a fix for this, and the issue happens on production build also in my case.

@suren-atoyan, I’m not using the template OP is using. Is there anything else I have to check? Other languages work just fine. Only json causes issues.

Hi, @Nick-Lucas, I’ve tried your solution and it kinda works. I get different editors working in my Electron app BUT I also get an error in the dev build. The error is: It occurs in the last line of the webpacked renderer.dev.js which is:

module.exports = __webpack_exports__;

The application seems to work fine after and the problem does not exists in prod.

I’m guessing there should be a webpack way of solving this ?
