Same issue here. I think the solution is this but the lib has to be updated.
Almenon commentedon Jun 3, 2023
Theoretically you should not have to shim it unless you're using a old version of node I think. What version of node are you using @uninstallit ?
uninstallit commentedon Jun 4, 2023
@Almenon I tried node v16, v18, and v20 . Open to suggestions.
I am using
Vite 4.3.9and usingrollup-plugin-node-polyfills/polyfillsto resolve node functionsegdenis commentedon Aug 14, 2023
@uninstallit did you find a solution to this? Running into the same issue (node v19)
Almenon commentedon Aug 16, 2023
That's really wierd, because according to the node docs util.promisify has been part of the official node API ever since v8.
See https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v20.x/api/util.html#utilpromisifyoriginal
@uninstallit is your electron code open-source, by chance?
