Webview functions like reload, stop, forward and loadUrl don't work

[RHeynsZa]

So i added a webview to my angular

<webview #webview src="https://google.com/" style="width: 100%; height: 100%" allowpopups></webview>

And I reference it in my type script using:

export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
    @ViewChild('webview') webview: ElementRef;
    nativeWebView: WebviewTag;

.
.
.
    ngAfterViewInit(): void {
        this.nativeWebView = this.webview.nativeElement;
        this.nativeWebView.addEventListener('dom-ready', () => {
            this.nativeWebView.openDevTools();
        });
    }
}

(sneaky edit: The nativeWebView does actually open the dev tools after this)

But if I then later try to do something like:

    reload(): void {
        this.nativeWebView.loadURL('https://myurl.com');
    }

I get the following error:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Error invoking remote method 'ELECTRON_GUEST_VIEW_MANAGER_CALL': 
Error: ERR_FAILED (-2) loading 'https://myurl.com' at EventEmitter.t.ipcRendererInternal.send.t.ipcRendererInternal.invoke (electron/js2c/renderer_init.js:103)

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it borked?
