Electron Upgrade progress

[croche2574]

Upgraded electron, changed to use electron's base ipc lib instead of better-ipc, changed to use grpc-js instead of grpc (should be fairly seamless but something's wrong), upgraded a bunch of stuff, started moving all the relevant stuff into preload.js (idk how much has to go there and what can stay -see clapiserver.ts)

Electron-context-menu is not playing nice. Consider replacing it with the official version instead of Nehbit's fork?

[Frigyes06]

After changing electron context menu to the official version, and bumping node to v14, it builds but breaks.

libva error: /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed
[13827:0828/111246.661159:ERROR:CONSOLE(1)] "Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to fetch", source: devtools://devtools/bundled/panels/elements/elements.js (1)

also grpc missing?

[Frigyes06]

feapiconsumer.ts has grpc left

[Frigyes06]

Failing now because we need newer NPM version. google-protobuf is somehow missing from /aether-app/aether-core/aether/protos/feapi/feapi_pb.js App still doesn't start Build fails.

feapi consumer init fails at
