Uncaught Exception: TypeError: Path must be a string. Received undefined

[nukeop]

I'm getting an error when doing the bare minimum:

const dbus = require('dbus-native');
var sessionBus = dbus.sessionBus();

I'm using webpack to bundle everything. It runs under Electron. This is the entire error message:

Uncaught Exception:

Any ideas?

what's value of DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS env variable?

[nukeop]

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-i1N45HFWWV"

[sidorares]

could you add console.log here https://github.com/sidorares/dbus-native/blob/35318c23bde92cc2cd877ade89a9bbf1a958217f/index.js#L45 and see what's actually passed to abs.connect() ?

I tried to reproduce this with https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-webpack-quick-start and it works fine.
