Issue with Electon 16
node:electron/js2c/renderer_init:73 Error: @electron/remote is disabled for this WebContents. Set {enableRemoteModule: true} in WebPreferences to enable it.
enableRemoteModule is set true and remote is initialized in main. Worked fine with Electron 15.
@MarshallOfSound Electron remote may be a separate module, but as it worked in the previous version of Electron and I can't seem to find any changes regarding breaking changes between Electron 15 => Electron 16, I would assume that it is Electron issue and not Electron Remote issue.
As stated in https://github.com/electron/remote/blob/main/docs/migration-2.md you now need to call remoteMain.initialize() and then remoteMain.enable(win.webContents) to enable the remote module.
Just tested this with [email protected] and no problems:
import { initialize, enable as enableRemote } from "@electron/remote/main";
initialize();
// ...
const win = new BrowserWindow({ ... });
enableRemote(win.webContents);
Remote main is initialized.
I already was on version 15 without any issues, so this change:
Note: In electron >= 14.0.0, you must use the new enable API to enable the remote module for each desired WebContents separately: require("@electron/remote/main").enable(webContents).`
Does not apply for moving from 15 to 16?
I am still on electron-remote 1. So the migration to electron-remote 2 does not apply either?
From what you are telling it seems that I need to migrate from electron-remote 1 to electon-remote 2 if I upgrade from electon 15 to electron 16. If that is so, the issue is documentation.
If you're on version 1.x of @electron/remote this error should trigger https://github.com/electron/remote/pull/75/files.
I only got:
node:electron/js2c/renderer_init:73 Error: @electron/remote is disabled for this WebContents. Set {enableRemoteModule: true} in WebPreferences to enable it.
So either a different check catches the problem and issues the message I got or the check was not present in my version.
My remote version was 1.0.4.

I have the similar problem, it works in Mac and it does not in ubuntu...
Electron 16 is completely unusable if using electron remote
Just tested this with electron@^16.0.5 and it works in Mac:
"electron": "^16.0.5",
"@electron/remote": "^2.0.1"
main.js
require('@electron/remote/main').initialize()
const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
.........
})
require("@electron/remote/main").enable(mainWindow.webContents)
renderer.js
const { BrowserWindow } = require('@electron/remote')
let win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 1800, height: 1600 })
win.loadURL('https://www.google.com/')
@huyinghuan does it maybe make sense to open a new issue? I think we're all encountering the problem you describe, but the issue description indicates a completely different problem (not initializing the remote module).
Think I found a possible fix for now.
Enabling the remote module within renderer doesn't do anything. It seems to only have an effect in main.
Calling it within a 'browser-window-created' event should work.
app.on('browser-window-created', (_, window) => {
require("@electron/remote/main").enable(window.webContents)
})
Same thing for me, thanks @panthesingh, as It seems not possible to "enbale" from a preload file.
But do you think it is possible to filter windows not to enable remote on every opened windows?
@sindbad75 @vraravam 👌 glad it helped!
@sindbad75 The main way I can think of would be to filter using some window object property.
if (window.property === x) { then ... }
