Cannot find module `regenerator-runtime`
When trying to run an Electron app that uses this, it complains about not being able to find regenerator-runtime. Inspecting the code of dist/index.js reveals that this is true, regenerator-runtime is required but not depended upon.
~~Ok, that's fine, I just installed regenerator-runtime manually. Except, now it's throwing because it can't read Math from null. Once again, inspecting dist/index.js shows that it's trying to get Math from a window global. I'm trying to use electron-sudo in the main process, is this it only supposed to be used in the renderer process?~~
Nevermind, it was my fault, I had some dead code that was settings global.window to null.
However, on fresh installs, regenerator-runtime isn't depended upon, so that's still an issue.
@facekapow regenerator-runtime is a devDependency, from package babel-plugin-transform-regenerator, it's added in appropriate package.json section
It's required at runtime, it should be a regular dependency; npm doesn't install devDependencies when you do npm install <pkg>.
@facekapow regenerator-runtime not correctly packed with webpack, need to investigate it

I'm having this issue using Vanilla Javascript implementation.

var Sudoer = require('electron-sudo').default;
var sudoer = new Sudoer();
@littletinman did you run npm i in your project directory? babel-runtime now is bundled as dependency
@automation-stack I ran npm i but nothing was shown, I ended up just running npm install regenerator-runtime --save and that solved the problem.
I had this problem. I'm using a Mac so I had to open another tab in Terminal.app. You can just restart Terminal to be doubly sure.
When using npm install --save-dev @babel/plugin-transform-runtime, you need to have npm install --save @babel/runtime as a production dependency.
If this doesn't work for you try clearing the npm cache and then do npm install. See if that fixes your problem.
