Electron-forge: Template React & React+TypeScript

[davidroman0O]

• [x] I have read the contribution documentation for this project.
• [x] I agree to follow the code of conduct that this project follows, as appropriate.
• [x] I have searched the issue tracker for an issue that matches the one I want to file, without success.

The two templates React & React+TypeScript got the same error when using electron-forge start but not the others.

It seems to be related to electron-devtools-installer but it's visible only on those two templates.

What command line arguments are you passing?

What does your config.forge data in package.json look like?

Basic ones from the template Rect & React+TypeScript

To reproduce, i just have to use the init command with the correct template : react or typescript

electron-forge init my-new-typescript --template=react-typescript
or
electron-forge init my-new-react --template=react

Just start the projet and I hope someone will have the same error.

The other templates are working.

Does I'm the only one ?

@davidroman0O I just fixed this in electron-devtools-installer, if you re-init or just update the electron-devtools-installer dep to 2.2.3 it should work fine 👍

Also, for future reference, please don't open duplicate issues. I gave a reason why I closed the original issue, and we could have continued the conversation in the original issue.

@MarshallOfSound I've just found it right now, i wanted to comment it but you did it first. Damn it, at 3 minutes of difference :p

@malept You didn't really understand my issue, it's not really a duplicate, there an issue with the React and React+TypeScript templates.

So, to fix it, do exactly what @MarshallOfSound comment !

[malept]

The summary of this issue is exactly the same as #390, except you mentioned that it only happens with the react* templates. The reason why is also exactly the same (an issue with a dependency in just those templates). It would be preferred if the summary was edited to include new information, instead of creating a new issue.

@malept Alright! :)
