[Solved] Can't get electron example app to work

I'm trying to get the electron-quick-start example project to run.

After runnig npm install && npm start I get the following output:

> electron-quick-start@1.0.0 start /tmp/electron-quick-start
> electron .

But no window shows up.

Does this happen to anyone else?
Every other gtk and qt applications work fine.
I'm running i3-gaps.
I've tried to run it with both the archlinux electron package installed and uninstalled.

Thank you.

Works for me. Not sure if it is related but there has been an issue in the last 10 days regarding electron apps core-dumping with glibc 2.28-1 so make sure you update your box to include today's new glibc 2.28-4 then try again.

I say... This is the first time an app update fixed a problem! Usually I see solutions online that involve updating, but they would be 2 years old...
Thanks bulletmark!

If you indeed used the system electron, then you would not have this problem. The issue was exclusively with packages using prebuilt electron binaries; see https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/13988
