Research direction

Start by reproducing the error in the reported Electron 17.2.0 app using Quasar CLI with Vite. Trace the renderer import path through node_modules/electron/index.js and @electron/remote/dist/src/renderer/remote.js; done means establishing a supported configuration or documenting the incompatibility and its resolution.

Description

Hi, I'm trying to use @electron/remote in an electron 17.2.0 app, and I'm getting this error.

Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: __dirname is not defined

Anyone know how to solve this? It's using Quasar CLI with Vite (https://quasar.dev)
