Go to node_modules folder. Find electron-updater. Go to out and AppUpdater.js then change

const promises_1 = require("fs/promises");

to

const promises_1 = require("fs").promises;

I am trying to learn Electron. Level - zero.

  1. I would check your node and electron versions match. Info: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/electron-timelines My version -- node 12.22.7 -- electron 11.5.0

  2. I eliminated this error while learning Electron in this way: if error: "cannot find module'fs/promises' then npm uninstall electron-builder and npm i electron-builder@22.10.5

The developers claim that this bug is indeed present in node 12 and is fixed in node 14+.
