Versions installed:
"@electron/remote": "2.0.1",

What I tried:
I tried to remote: "2.0.8" and the issue still persists.

I have this problem too

Yeah, clearly it's a remote bug.

Regarding reproduction,
I do not have the time to create a reproduction repo,
you could check my Fifo Browser repo, and run a development environment in there.
Or maybe someone else can send a repo that isn't a whole entire browser with assets that make it hard to debug. 👍
Thanks all!

Hi,

I encountered the same problem when using @electron/remote v2.0.8 and any electron >= v14.0.0.
It seems the function getContextId() in remote.js cannot find v8_util binding - getElectronBinding('v8_util') returns null:

Any ideas how to work it around?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Thanks for adding to the issue. Please @erickzhao refer to this issue and see if they can fix this.

Hi! I believe the source of the issue is webpack 5 and it's node polyfill removed.

from https://webpack.js.org/migrate/5/:

webpack 5 does no longer include a polyfill for this Node.js variable. Avoid using it in the frontend code.

.
remote is using process._linkedBinding underneath which is undefined in webpack 5 builds.
The obvious solution to include fallback to webpack config doesn't work:

resolve.fallback.process = require.resolve('process'); // does no effect

as well as installing node-polyfill-webpack-plugin.

Cheers!

Thank you all for your time!

I have this same error with webpack 4 and electron 20

No clue how to fix that. Going to give it another hour and then will start to remove remote from the app.
