Have the same problem with the same configurations.

[klren0312]

try to add this to vue.config.js

module.exports = defineConfig({
  pluginOptions: {
    electronBuilder: {
      externals: ['fs/promises'],
    }
  }
})

See nodeIntegration configuration.

FS is not authorized by Electron in rendered files, only on background process.

And... upgrade your version of vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder with v3 guys ;)
