And I get nothing more:

• the console is stuck there
• no electron process running

What were you expecting?

I was expecting electron to start with the devTools attached.

And it seems to be the only command causing me issue:

• Electron build quasar build -m electron -t mat works fine
• SPA dev mode quasar dev works fine too

What steps did you take, to get the error?

• created a new project quasar init .
• added electron quasar mode -a electron
• tried to start the dev mode quasar dev -m electron -t mat

Hi,

Can you please redirect this to the CLI repo?

Also, do a quasar info inside your project folder and add that to the description.
Seems like it's an electron + npm issue. Referencing same issue: SimulatedGREG/electron-vue#389

Thank you.

if someone else has this issue.
seems to be an issue with node, I reverted node to the last LTS 11.0.0 -> 8.12 and it works as expected.
