After updating to Electron 15, TypeScript fails with:

node_modules/electron-context-menu/index.d.ts:4:2 - error TS2305: Module '"electron"' has no exported member 'WebviewTag'.

electron-context-menu/index.d.ts

Line 4 in 88cc807

WebviewTag,

I'm having the same problem, for now you can get around it by requiring it like this until it gets fixed:

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-var-requires
const contextMenu = require("electron-context-menu");

This works 👍 However (unless I am missing a step), it disables the typings, is that right?

Another option I found while searching for a solution was to modify tsconfig:

"compilerOptions": {
  "skipLibCheck": true
}

This seems to also work, without the side effect of disabling typings. But is there another downside that I am missing here? Someone more clued in with Typescript can hopefully chip in if so.

I ended up doing this too because so many of the libraries I was using have this same issue
