Electron Node Red no longer logs to console

[geoffatblacktusk]

After chasing down a blank console issue, I loaded the dev tools and found that 'require' is not being recognised in the console.htm. On further investigation I found that as well as nodeIntegration:true, there was a breaking change in Electron 12, which now requires contextIsolation:false if the require is to be included in the renderer process rather than main.js. (see https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/breaking-changes#default-changed-contextisolation-defaults-to-true). The following change should be made to main.js webPreferences: { //gma - node integration required for ipcRenderer in html //gma - Breaking Change in Electron12, contextIsolation defaults to true nodeIntegration: true, contextIsolation: false, nativeWindowOpen: true } Also, note that url.format is now deprecated, so it is recommended to use path.join; conWindow.loadURL(path.join(__dirname, urlconsole));
