Modify src/main causes multiple electron on reload

[loongmxbt]

OS: MacOS 10.15.3
Step1: yarn run dev
Step2: modify src/main/index.js, e.g. add a new line
Step3: automatically reload and a new electron appears, the old one become blank screen.
Step4. I can cmd+q quit the new electron window, but the blank window can't quit easily. I need to open task manager to close it.

BTW: no such problems while modifying renderer files.

I don't own a MAC but I will try to reproduce this behavior on Windows.

[mubaidr]

It does not happen on Windows. Can you please share more info?

• Electron version
• Your run command
• Any flags?

Hi, I'll test on windows to see if I can reproduce on Windows.

Seems like this error

@mubaidr It happened on my MacBook too

[mubaidr]

@ksh2016 Any error message? or any logs in the console?

[codagew]

@mubaidr I don't think anything useful in the console, and will find some detail info ,maybe later these days

[mubaidr]

I really have no option for debugging right now as I said I do not own a Mac OS device. I would appreciate if you could contribute.

Cannot reproduce this issue on my system. I will re-open this issue once we have any confirmation.
