node binding is loaded into the electron browser

[alexisvincent]

When spawning an electron window, systemjs-babel-node.js is loaded instead of systemjs-babel-browser.js. Think this is because the environment is being detected as node instead of browser.

[alexisvincent]

Specifically this error is thrown

undefined:1 Uncaught (in promise) Error: (SystemJS) http://localhost:3000/jspm_packages/npm/[email protected]/systemjs-babel-node.js:26786
      var terminator = argv.indexOf('--');
                           ^
    TypeError: Cannot read property 'indexOf' of undefined

@guybedford can get around with

SystemJS.config({
  "packages": {
    "npm:[email protected]": {
      map: {
        "systemjs-babel-build": "./systemjs-babel-browser.js",
      }
    }
  }
});

But then hit an issue with process not being defined

[guybedford]

Is the process error in this file - https://github.com/jspm/nodelibs-process/blob/master/process-node.js?

[guybedford]

What version of Node are you using?

[alexisvincent]

undefined:1 Uncaught (in promise) Error: (SystemJS) http://localhost:3000/jspm_packages/github/jspm/[email protected]/process-node.js:3
    var pEnv = process.env;
                      ^
    TypeError: Cannot read property 'env' of undefined

[alexisvincent]

which is strange, because when I evaluate window.process i get an object back

[alexisvincent]

v6.3.0 however I think issue is on v5 as well, let me check

[alexisvincent]

Yep, same issue on v5.2.0

[guybedford]

You can also check the value of System.import('@node/process').then(function(m) { var process = m.default })... which should be the process object, and if not that is a SystemJS bug in Electron.

[alexisvincent]

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'default' of undefined

[alexisvincent]

I hope this isn't my setup. I took an existing JSPM 17 app, and just put it in electron. Checked it and it works outside of electron via the same port

[guybedford]

@alexisvincent I just ran the electron quickstart app and then did System.import('@node/process').then(console.log.bind(console)) and am definitely seeing the right process logged. What mode would I need to run Electron in to reproduce this?
