Hi @muminasaad thanks for the report. Can you point me to a repo/project which I can use to reproduce the issue? Also just upgraded the dependencies and fixed the NewFunction deprecation warning. Maybe this helps already.

[muminasaad]

Sorry @0x7f , i dont have a repo , but if you create the simplest electron application and try to rebuild the project you will notice that it will fail directly,
but fixing the depracation will may fix the error

I'm having this problem as well.
