Error when importing into a electron-vue app

[devszr]

Hi,

I'm trying to use VueWorker in an app created with electron-vue, [https://github.com/SimulatedGREG/electron-vue].

When importing VueWorker, I get the following error,
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token import at createScript (vm.js:74) at Object.runInThisContext (vm.js:116) at Module._compile (module.js:533) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:580) at Module.load (module.js:503) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:466) at Function.Module._load (module.js:458) at Module.require (module.js:513) at require (internal/module.js:11) at eval (external "vue-worker"?b6d5:1)

I don't know if this is a problem with electron-vue or with VueWorker, thought I'll ask here first.
The error is reported in \node_modules\vue-worker\index.js:1.

Steps:

Create an empty project with vue init simulatedgreg/electron-vue my-project

Then npm install vue-worker and import it in the main.js created by electron-vue.

As soon as you start the application, you'll see the error.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

I posted an issue on electron-vue as well, SimulatedGREG/electron-vue/issues/562

@devszr Have you solved the problem? I have a same problem.

[devszr]

@haodawang Nope. I ended up not using vue-worker.

@devszr Did you find an alternative?

[devszr]

@gsongsong Not really. I used Node's child_process module directly without using webworkers since my use case was within an Electron App.

@devszr Sad. I adopted suggestion described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/40251412/3278063.

A worker window is hidden ({show: false}) and routed to #/worker, which renders page with just an empty template and <script></script>, the real part.

I am not sure this approach has limitations, but so far it looks goot to me. Bothersome part is on main process bridging two (or more) renderer processes.

@devszr you can simply whitelist vue-worker inside rendered config.
