Just like issue of electron electron/electron#15092
or issue of electron-compile electron-userland/electron-compile#312

Same issue.

I confirm this issue as well. The problem is in the latest version (4.0.0-beta.5), previous version works fine.

This error will happen in the v3.0.6 as well, as its just renamed version from 4.0.0. beta.

Same issue with anything later than electron-prebuilt-compile@2.0.8.
With 3.0.6 I get this associated with a black buggy window:

I am having this issue as well. Running latest.

Same problem here 😢 waiting for #72 merge.

[seifsg]

Can we please have a fix for this merged? It is affecting everyone trying to start a new project using the boilerplate.
