Unable to start

[ivancuric]

Using npm v7.9.0, since there was a package-lock.json present, starting the project results in

> electron-forge-sharp@1.0.0 start
> electron-forge start

'electron-forge' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Using yarn v1.22.5 the app also crashes with the following log:

An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
[Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read] {
  errno: -4068,
  code: 'EISDIR',
  syscall: 'read'
}

Electron Forge was terminated. Location:
{}
error Command failed with exit code 1.

Hi @ivancuric,

Just build it fresh in another machine, and it worked fine. I am running node 14.17.0, with npm 6.14.13, in MacOS.

Make sure to run npm i before firing npm run start, so the required dependencies are in place.

Let me know how it goes!

[ivancuric]

Ah. Is it possible it doesn't work on Windows? Don't have access to a MacOS machine at this time.

[aperkaz]

Yep, I had some issues when running it on windows.

I build another starter, in this case using electron-build, that fixes that issue: https://github.com/aperkaz/yarn-workspaces-electron

Still WIP, but it was the only way I was able to get sharp working in electron cross-env...
