Menu
I am trying to get started with Electron. I was already able to run all simple examples. They all work as expected. When I try to follow the Quick Start Guide I experience the same issue as mentioned in this question: The app launches properly, but does not display the versions of node Chrome and Electron. When I look into the developing tools I see this error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined
at index.html:14
However, I have set nodeIntegration to true.
Why is it still not working?
Versions:
Operating System:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Hello World!</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';" />
</head>
<body style="background: white;">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p>
We are using node
<script>document.write(process.versions.node)</script>,
Chrome
<script>document.write(process.versions.chrome)</script>,
and Electron
<script>document.write(process.versions.electron)</script>.
</p>
</body>
</html>
main.js
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
function createWindow () {
const win = new BrowserWindow({
width: 800,
height: 600,
webPreferences: {
nodeIntegration: true
}
})
win.loadFile('index.html')
}
app.whenReady().then(createWindow)
app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
app.quit()
}
})
app.on('activate', () => {
if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) {
createWindow()
}
})
package.json

Try to set this value when creating your BrowserWindow:
webPreferences: { nodeIntegration: true, contextIsolation: false }
A new major Electron version has been released which broke the tutorial.
The specific breaking change is a new default value of contextIsolation flag.
