Calling `child_process` Cannot read property 'NODE_ENV' of undefined

[ChuckJonas]

Sorry, new to electron, so I'm probably doing something dumb... but I'm trying to spawn a child process from one of the redux actions just as a test. However, when I add the code:

import { actionCreatorVoid } from './helpers';
import * as process from 'child_process';
export const increment = actionCreatorVoid('INCREMENT_COUNTER');
export const decrement = actionCreatorVoid('DECREMENT_COUNTER');

export function incrementIfOdd() {
  return (dispatch: Function, getState: Function) => {
    const { counter } = getState();


    if (counter % 2 === 0) {
      return;
    }

    var ls = process.spawn('ls');
    console.log(ls);

    dispatch(increment());
  };
}

export function incrementAsync(delay: number = 1000) {
  return (dispatch: Function) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      dispatch(increment());
    }, delay);
  };
}

i get the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'NODE_ENV' of undefined

I see that NODE_ENV is being set using the define plugin, so IDK if this is a bug or maybe what I'm trying to do isn't possible?

Any Insight would be appreciated! (EG if there is a better way/place to do this).

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue right now
