I'm getting the following ambiguous error:

• When run via Electron
• Node v6.3.0

I used electron-rebuild which seemed to fix my issue 😄

Hey @wilsonpage, I too have the same issue and by running ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild in my root folder where I have my node_modules doesn't seems work.

I can't suggest anything really, this is all voodoo magic to me 🔥

Hi ! I have the same issue on mac, but not on windows :

• node v6.3.1
• npm v3.10.3
• electron v1.3.2

electron-rebuild doesn't work either for me. @shankar2105 Did you found out how to fix the bug ?

[baboundu81]

In case anybody had the same issue, I finally fixed it, I forgot to set the environment variables for electron-rebuild script as mentioned here.

Not sure I understand your resolution -- the section on electron-rebuild doesn't mention needing or using environment variables.

@sandover
I had a similar problem. The version of electron in the link above is npm_config_target=1.2.3
my electron had 1.4.5. As soon I fixed it in the script, the error disappeared..
