Error: Cannot find module 'remote'

[andig]

I'm using app.js and have added dev tools. In the console I'm getting Error: Cannot find module 'remote' in module.js 440. I have not changed the repo structure.

Any idea what might be the problem with finding remote?

It might be that with current versions of electron it should read something like this:

var remote = require('electron').remote;
var Menu = remote.Menu;
var MenuItem = remote.MenuItem;

But because you are making use of "remote" in the main process when it is made to be used in the application renderer side?

In Electron, GUI-related modules (such as dialog, menu etc.) are only available in the main process, not in the renderer process. In order to use them from the renderer process, the ipc module is necessary to send inter-process messages to the main process. With the remote module, you can invoke methods of the main process object without explicitly sending inter-process messages, similar to Java’s RMI.

Ie these modules are not indexed to the "remote"
