trying to use mt-donwloader in Electron with ReactJS
See original GitHub issueI’m desperately trying to get mt-downloader working with ReactJS in Electron
to start off with there was an issue with json-scheme having an issue with define, causing a crash which I was able to fix with
module: {
noParse: /node_modules\/json-schema\/lib\/validate\.js/,
}
in webpack.config
.
Now the app runs, but when I try to download, it initialises the download and crashes in an createNodeObservable
method, because the function passed to it is undefined. This is when it is trying to call fsOpen.
Any ideas what I can do to fix this? Here is the stack trace

It now downloads properly … very happy indeed. 😃
