Error in new project using Electron

[Rubens_Bentes_da_Sil]

This error occurred in a mobile project. Created in version 6.0.5.

Absolutely nothing was done before, we just created the file and added electron to the project.

What can be done?

Seems like NodeJS is not installed correctly, do a clean install by downloading the latest lts version from https://nodejs.org/en

After reinstalling the node, a new error occurred.

I’m having the same issue here; everything I try to do beyond a web project doesn’t work without having to solve a bunch of problems, and most of the time I can’t resolve them.

yes this is unfortunately a bug with the latest Capacitor Electron:

Build error when using 5.0.1

you can easily bypass it by adding "skipLibCheck":true in the tsconfig.json file in the electron folder
