Receiving build errors in my electron project. It appears as though there are errors in the types files between the native electron resources and this expansion lib mappings. Anyone else seeing this issue, or any guidance on correcting the issue?

(ex1)

Error: node_modules/@electron/remote/index.d.ts:8:43 - error TS2339: Property 'ClientRequest' does not 
exist on type 'typeof CrossProcessExports'.

8 export var ClientRequest: typeof Electron.ClientRequest;

(ex2)

Error: node_modules/@electron/remote/index.d.ts:10:41 - error TS2339: Property 'CommandLine' does not
 exist on type 'typeof CrossProcessExports'.

10 export var CommandLine: typeof Electron.CommandLine;

Downgraded to electron 14.1.0 and project builds correctly. You appear to have an undocumented compatibility issue with Electron 15.x.

Same, works with 14.1.0 but fails with 15.x

Ditto. Just ran into this yesterday.

Ran into this as well

I also confirm this issue only occurs on Electron 15.x. Downgrading to 14.x solves the issue.

I have a similar problem also with electron 14.0.1 and @electron/remote": "1.2.2":

Error: node_modules/@electron/remote/index.d.ts:60:28 - error TS2694: Namespace 'NodeJS' has no exported member 'Require'.

60 export var require: NodeJS.Require;

The following replacement for index.d.ts appears to resolve the issue for me while also working for Electron 14.x, but I'm not familiar enough with the @electron/remote project to have confidence that this is the appropriate fix for a pull request:
