Use different version of electron-prebuilt-compile other than 1.6.11

[sarabsandhu]

I am trying to use different version of electron-prebuilt-compile which has chrome version 51. So I am doing npm uninstall first version of electron-prebuilt-compile (1.6.11) and npm install second version (e.g. 1.2.6). I see below error message

Debugging with legacy protocol because a runtime executable is set.
electron-forge-vscode-win.cmd --debug-brk=20173
× Locating Application
Electron forge was terminated:
You must depend on an EXACT version of "electron-prebuilt-compile" not a range

my package.json file is attached here

package.txt

is there any documentation around it?

Use the npm flag --save-exact.

Thank you @ibujs . That did the trick. Now I am loading page successfully but i see below error in developers tools conosle. Do i need to change version on electron-compile as well?

Is electron-compilers (yes, "-rs", it's a dependency of electron-compile) installed?

[sarabsandhu]

no it was not installed so i used below command to install it in dev dependencies
npm install electron-compilers --save-dev --save-exact

config-parser.js:443 Uncaught Error: Electron compilers not found but were requested to be loaded

is resolved.

For the record, you don't need to save electron-compilers to package.json, it's a direct dependency of electron-compile.

What does your .compilerc look like?
