I am trying to create a simple Electron based application, based on the instructions at http://electron.atom.io/docs/tutorial/quick-start/ , which provide the code below. When I do trying running it with electron 1.4.4 and NodeJS 6.7.0 I get:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'on' of undefined at Object.<anonymous> (/path/to/proj/src/goelectron.js:29:4) The code follows:
const {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron') // Keep a global reference of the window object, if you don't, the window will // be closed automatically when the JavaScript object is garbage collected. let win function createWindow () { // Create the browser window. win = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600}) // and load the index.html of the app. win.loadURL(`file://${__dirname}/index.html`) // Open the DevTools. win.webContents.openDevTools() // Emitted when the window is closed. win.on('closed', () => { // Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows // in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time // when you should delete the corresponding element. win = null }) } // This method will be called when Electron has finished // initialization and is ready to create browser windows. // Some APIs can only be used after this event occurs. app.on('ready', createWindow) // Quit when all windows are closed. app.on('window-all-closed', () => { // On macOS it is common for applications and their menu bar // to stay active until the user quits explicitly with Cmd + Q if (process.platform !== 'darwin') { app.quit() } }) app.on('activate', () => { // On macOS it's common to re-create a window in the app when the // dock icon is clicked and there are no other windows open. if (win === null) { createWindow() } }) // In this file you can include the rest of your app's specific main process // code. You can also put them in separate files and require them here. This suggests that 'app' is undefined, but I am not familiar with the notation the provides const {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron'), so I am unsure how to check what is wrong?
