Troubleshooting

When developing electron apps there are two processes: main, and renderer. In this case main corresponds to electron-starter.js and its console is wherever you called npm run dev or electron . from. renderer corresponds to the React App - this is everything else. The react app's console is in the electron/browser window and can be seen by using dev tools to inspect the window. When running npm run dev, it should open by default.

Potential Issues​

Try deleting your node_modules folder and the package-lock.json then running npm install then npm run rebuild.

Inspecting Errors​

In case you want to find out where the error is coming from when running the app locally:

  • Try reviewing logs in the terminal
  • Inspect element in your browser by openning your developer tools. For instance, in Chrome, this can be done via the menu View -> Developer or right-clicking and pressing inspect.
