Can't use requireNode from render process about ember-electron HOT 4 CLOSED

Maybe you haven't enabled nodeIntegration? You'd need to set it when creating your BrowserWindow in index.js -- see https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/browser-window for the specific usage/syntax.

from ember-electron.

Does just importing it work? I do this:

    if (typeof requireNode !== 'undefined') {
      let { ipcRenderer } = requireNode('electron');

from ember-electron.

Ahh, you're right.

I had tried that at some point but I think I did {nodeIntegration:true} instead of {webPreferences:{nodeIntegration:true}}, so that tripped me up.

From the docs at usage, I understood that node integration was built in.

Mentioning "when using nodeIntegration" might make that more clear? The docs lean towards folks that kind of already know how a lot of this stuff works, so maybe that's ok.

Thanks for the help Ben!

In case others hit this issue, this is what I changed.

I added the webPreferences field to BrowserWindow constructor in electron-app/src/index.js:

  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    webPreferences: {
      nodeIntegration: true
    }
  });

and then I also had to use this import syntax instead:

// import ipcRenderer from 'electron';
const { ipcRenderer } = requireNode('electron');

from ember-electron.

You bet! And that's a good suggestion about mentioning nodeIntegration -- I just opened a #668 to add it to the documentation.
