win.document.write ('content'); Cannot read property 'write' of undefined

Question

I'm trying to open a new window from electron via a JavaScript file, it works, and opens the new window but I can't write HTML/text to new file. I'm getting that error :

Cannot read property 'write' of undefined

My simple code:

var myWindow = window.open("", "myWindow", "width=300, height=200");
myWindow.document.write ('content');

Any advice or other way?

here's image from console:

Despite the window opening for you, popups for your browser might still be disabled and causing the problem. Please check it. — Samuil Petrov, Jun 22 '17 at 12:40

Weird things going on here... have you tried in another browser ? — DevMoutarde, Jun 22 '17 at 12:46
Okk so it has to be related to electron handling that event wrong... this may help : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32780726/how-to-access-dom-elements-in-electron — DevMoutarde, Jun 22 '17 at 12:54

The documentation for window.open states that, by default, it uses a different implementation of window.open, where it returns a BrowserWindowProxy instance. You can change it to use the native chrome one by passing nativeWindowOpen: true as an option when creating the parent BrowserWindow.
