TypeError: process._linkedBinding is not a function

in renderer preload script

while running require('@electron/remote');

at electron@12.0.0

using browserify as preload bundler.

I think this is because process._linkedBinding isn't available in sandboxed renderers. Is there any chance you're using sandbox: true?

nomagick commented

@nornagon True. I did enabled the sandbox feature.

The original remote module was able to be used in sandboxed renderers .

Is it that @electron/remote would not work in sandboxed renderers ?

Then I think it's better to mention this explicitly in readme.

I use remote for debug reasons.
It's very handy to check on the main process from a renderer devtools even on a distributed sandboxed app.

Should be fixed by #44.

FWIW, I don't recommend using remote from a sandboxed process as it largely defeats the purpose of sandboxing.

Thanks.

remote would only be loaded dynamiclly by a custom function defined in preload script and only for debugging.

I think the convenience worth it.
