Can't resolve 'fs'

[johannesjo]

As soon as I use this in my webpack build (via angular cli) for the renderer I get the error above.

import { ipcRenderer } from 'electron-better-ipc';
console.log(ipcRenderer);

Leads to:

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in '/home/mememe/www/super-productivity/node_modules/electron'

That is a problem with Webpack. Use the Webpack support channels. It works find when run directly without Webpack.

Setting

  node: {
    fs: 'empty'
  }

in the webpack config which seems to be the standard workaround for this doesn't work for me as I am now with the error fs.existsSync is not a function. I am using electron 9.1.1.

@johannesjo Did you ever figure it out?

Update, I got it working here.
