电子类型错误：无法读取未定义的属性“ normalizePath”

Question

I'm building a simple application using Electron. I want to access Node.js fs and path but I can't figure out the right way to do it.

Here is the error:

Exception has occurred: TypeError

TypeError: Cannot read property 'normalizePath' of undefined

Here is a sample of the code I'm using, in the main process (not the renderer ):

const { path } = require("path");

const something = () => {
  // Normalize the folder path
  path.normalize("path/to/file.txt");
});

something();

I've read this thread ( https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/7300#issuecomment-248773783 ) and tried to apply the fix but it did not helped and threw another error, so I'm back to start.

I'd be glad if you had some hints on how to get it working.

Answer 1

Path is default export from path module, so your require

const { path } = require("path");

should be

const path = require('path');

and it should be path.normalize()

Answer 2

You should use node.js path module:

const path = require('path');

const something = () => {
// Normalize the folder path
  return path.normalize("path/to/file.txt");
});

console.log(something());
