Fresh install

App threw an error when running [TypeError: Cannot read property 'getAppPath' of undefined]

I get this error.

Hmm, too little data to say something. Which electron version had been used? What operating system?

[dmr]

Same problem here: I just did npm install, nothing special.
npm start throws that error.

electron 0.4.1 on OSX 10.11.3

[szwacz]

electron 0.4.1? Is it mistype or really you ment that? The latest electron is 0.36.7

[dmr]

Oh, you are right. 0.36.7.
I was confused by a npm package called "electron" with is something different ^^.

npm -v
3.7.1

node -v
v5.5.0

Still the same issue: [TypeError: Cannot read property 'getAppPath' of undefined]

getAppPath() is a method of electron's app object. There's two occurences in the boilerplate: https://github.com/szwacz/electron-boilerplate/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=getAppPath

Sorry for the noise here, the problem has to do with the package electron that I installed in another project: --> npm install electron-prebuilt

"electron" is another program which has nothing to do with all of this!

If the package electron is installed anywhere it will cause a problem which leads to app not being defined.

Ha! Never would anticipate that. Thanks for clearing this out!
