"Cannot GET /index.html" on fresh install

[TheLionWithATie]

Prerequisites

• [x] Using npm
• [x] Using an up-to-date main branch
• [x] Using latest version of devtools. Check the docs for how to update
• [x] Tried solutions mentioned in #400
• [x] For issue in production release, add devtools output of DEBUG_PROD=true npm run build && npm start

Expected Behavior

After cloning the repo, installing the dependencies with "npm i" and running the application with "npm run start" the default page should have happeared in the .

Current Behavior

In the terminal I get the following error:

ERROR in ./assets/icon.svg
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/@svgr/webpack/dist/index.js):
BrowserslistError: Unknown version 31.3.0 of electron

And in the process window is displayed the text "Cannot GET /index.html", since the call to get the file fails:

Steps to Reproduce

1. git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/electron-react-boilerplate/electron-react-boilerplate.git your-project-name
2. cd your-project-name
3. npm install
4. npm start

I solved the issue by running

• npx update-browserslist-db@latest
• npm update

After those commands the webapp started as normal.

it doesn‘t work

[TheLionWithATie]

Try making the following changes:

• inside webpack.config.base.ts set module: 'esnext' to module: 'NodeNext',
• inside tsconfig.json set "module": "NodeNext" and "moduleResolution": "NodeNext",

Honestly I changed so much stuff I'm not sure that those commands were the solution to the problem...

I successfully launched my project thanks to the answer

[mlynch]

Getting the same issue as @CaptainJack-Git and @TheLionWithATie those changes unfortunately did not resolve it. I'm on Windows 11 in this case.

[mlynch]

Actually @TheLionWithATie just doing npm update resolved it for me. The npx update-browserslist-db@latest seems to be unnecessary and failed for me anyways. Thanks!

[fastalks]

npm update works for me!

Worked for me downgrading electron on package.json

"electron": "^25.3.0"

And then removing node_nodules, package-lock.json and then reinstalling with

npm install

Just not sure what I missing running this downgraded version 🤔

Removing the content of browserslist in package.json also worked, and it keeps the electron version.

"browserslist": [],

[qtnx]

This also occurs when installing a new module. By the way, the title should be updated to:

BrowserslistError: Unknown version x.x.x of Electron

for others to reference.

Remove "browserslist": [], worked. Thanks @viniyr
