@rappasoft Brilliant, that worked. At least until we get a definitive fix.

Did anyone manage to get this working under Laravel Sail? I followed the steps from https://github.com/NativePHP/electron/issues/10#issuecomment-1644651637 after getting the app entry file error and now I'm getting the following error instead:
