Electron: dialog.showOpenDialog not returning a promise?
The same happened to me and my workaround was to apply the then method and get the filePaths i.e
dialog.showOpenDialog({
properties: ['openDirectory']
}).then((data) => {
console.log(data.filePaths);
});
I think you are reading the wrong version of the documentation. Before version 6, dialog.showOpenDialog()
returns a String[]
rather than a Promise<Object>
.
Here is the documentation:
- v5.0.11
- v6.0.0
Hope my answer can help you
Run npm outdated
and check your version. In my version showOpenDialog was returning a string array and not a promise. After updating it, it worked.
