Description

An error occurs during NodeJS is including '.\server' from @electron/remote. Error: No such module was linked: electron_common_v8_util

I am a software tester. I use Spectron to automate my tests on Electron applications. Spectron has stopped using electron.remote and migrated to @electron/remote. However, it does not work on my machine. When I start debugging my Typescript project (e.g. node runTest.js) that uses new version of Spectron, it will throw and error when it imports modules from Spectron and @electron/remote.

The error is thrown from the code below from @electron/remote/dist/src/common/get-electron-binding.js

const getElectronBinding = (name) => {
    if (process._linkedBinding) {
        return process._linkedBinding('electron_common_' + name); // <- Error thrown here
    }
    else if (process.electronBinding) {
        return process.electronBinding(name);
    }
    else {
        return null;
    }
};
