Electron Browser outdated?

rudibarani

Thanks @sdetweil - changing the electron to latest works fine for me on a Mac Mini. I tested all my modules and did not find glitch so far.
@MichMich: Is there a special reading why you stick to version 3.0.13?

sdetweil

@rudibarani cool. can u post the node and npm versions? thanks

rudibarani

@sdetweil: I only updated electron without changing npm and node - so I am still using Node v11.6.0 and npm 6.9.0 on my Mac Mini (24/7 since 2009 :slightly_smiling_face:)

@Vauxdvihl

yes, lets try something not so new…

do

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules/electron
npm install electron@6.0.12

note that for other modules, you may also have to run electron-rebuild

@sdetweil

Sorry about reviving an old thread but I thought you and others might want to know

Bro, I went ahead and installed npm install electron@latest (11.3.0) as an experiment. Both my MMM-ISS-Live and EARTH-Live modules were affected by electron. It appears the latest version of electron has fixed the problem, at least with these two modules

sdetweil

@mykle1 the current mm develop branch has a number of changes, including moving up to electron 11.2.1

i would suggest trying that too…

karsten13

there is already a pull request which includes the update to 11.3.0, should be merged within the next days into develop
