CRA v5, msw and electron.net

[guilima]

Hello guys, after updating CRA v4.0.3 to v5.0.0 dependency inside an electron project it started to thrown the error message 'Failed to execute ``setupWorker`` in a non-browser environment. Consider using ``setupServer`` for Node.js environment instead.' on development environment. So I debugged changing between CRA version and could find into isNodeProcess() the process being read as a node application on CRA v5. Do you have any suggestion on how I could address this problem?

Hey, @guilima.

Could you please include the code where you're calling worker.start()? It may be that you do that in the wrong context. Electron comes with two processes: main (which is Node.js) and renderer (which is browser). It's important to start the worker in the letter process.

Fair, probably after updating CRA to v5 the spa application that are running inside electron.net started on main process for some reason. I am still not sure why that happened, but already did a test creating an electronjs app within CRA v5 and it worked like a charm. I need to understand more about how electron.net implements electron, anyway thanks!

I'm glad you've found the problematic area!
