What steps will reproduce the bug?

Just run the specified node version and you will get the issue (i guess)

What happens?

When running the code const board = new Board(); I get an error.

The error is the following (HardwareDevicesService.ts is my file):

board.js:42 Uncaught TypeError: serialport.list is not a function
    at Board.detect (board.js:42)
    at new Board (board.js:291)
    at addBoard (HardwareDevicesService.ts:24)

What should have happened?

run without errors

Additional information

I'm using electron-forge but I dont think that matters.

Hi, not sure if this help but maybe you are importing SerialPort incorrectly (mind curly bracers :) ). Have a look at this example https://github.com/serialport/electron-serialport/blob/6cf4e28ec9df4d45e73d2ceca1e6e131af588956/renderer.js

Edited: @iamisti or check this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63370876/2893810 It looks like it (list) has been moved

Hi @iamisti are you still experiencing this issue?

@iamisti Are you sure you are calling .list() on a class itself not on an instance of a class?
