I started getting this error today. Any clue what happened?

Nobody has a workaround or something?

Also getting this error.

I’m still seeing errors but I was eventually able to get Vue devtools to load by serving my index.html file on localhost and using win.loadURL('http://localhost:8080'); rather than win.loadFile('index.html');.

I’m only loading it that way in development, of course.

Edit: oh and I upgraded Node to current LTS (18.16.1 as of this comment)
