Discussion on: Integrating an Angular-CLI application with Electron - The IPC

[Charles Robertson]

This simply does not work.

ENVIRONMENT

Angular CLI: 8.3.25
Node: 12.14.0
OS: win32 x64
Angular: 8.2.14
... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
... language-service, platform-browser, platform-browser-dynamic
... router

Package                           Version

webpack                           4.39.2

I have copied everything precisely and after the window opens successfully, I type in:

npm start 

Into Chromium's Dev Tool input.
I get the following error:

VM140:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

I also get a warning in the console:

Electron's IPC was not loaded

[Michael De Abreu]

You have to run npm run electron:start in the Angular app, and npm start in the electron app.
That being said, I have to update this as this may be outdated.
