Without the contents of that file, debugging and helping you solve the problem will be really hard.
Could you please include it here?

I have been trying very hard to crack this ...but not able to understand the issue

If someone finds a solution could please post it here?

Did you run npm install?

[fewieden]

@D3rpi you should definetly update your node version first, as yours is over 3 years old 3 info using [email protected]

@fewieden Thanks.
I updated my node and it's working again. I'm not sure what caused the issue because it was working fine until last week when I updated my Pi3(still on jessie).

[roramirez]

@fewieden Maybe we need to check the version of Node before to start the electron app, What do you think?

[sharmmoh1983]

Even after updating node version to 7 still I ma getting this issue

[sharmmoh1983]

It is working now
