Research direction

Start by reproducing the startup failure in the reported Vue application and compare it with the shown @electron/remote entry code that checks process.type. Trace the require path from menu_main.vue and app.vue to identify the failing context. Done means the reported startup no longer raises ReferenceError while the package still rejects the wrong process context appropriately.

Description

Hi, I'm trying to use require('@electron/remote'), but it fails upon startup with an error, process is not defined.

vue-router.esm-bundler.js:3295 ReferenceError: process is not defined
    at Object.622 (index.js:13:1)
    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap:19:1)
    at Object.8005 (index.js:1:1)
    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap:19:1)
    at Module.1868 (menu_main.vue?836c:105:2)
    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap:19:1)
    at Module.7427 (app.vue?fc9b:156:2)
    at Function.__webpack_require__ (bootstrap:19:1)

It appears that this is at the portion of the @electron/remote code which checks process.type:

"use strict";
var __createBinding = (this && this.__createBinding) || (Object.create ? (function(o, m, k, k2) {
    if (k2 === undefined) k2 = k;
    Object.defineProperty(o, k2, { enumerable: true, get: function() { return m[k]; } });
}) : (function(o, m, k, k2) {
    if (k2 === undefined) k2 = k;
    o[k2] = m[k];
}));
var __exportStar = (this && this.__exportStar) || function(m, exports) {
    for (var p in m) if (p !== "default" && !Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(exports, p)) __createBinding(exports, m, p);
};
Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });
if (process.type === 'browser')
    throw new Error(`"@electron/remote" cannot be required in the browser process. Instead require("@electron/remote/main").`);
__exportStar(require("./remote"), exports);
