Not able to use Electron's webview on Windows

Question

I have a simple react app. It uses:

• react
• webpack
• redux
• css-modules

Was looking for an easy way to wrap a React app into Electron. Am trying out webview

Have a simple electron app

It works on OSX but not on Windows 10, Please help.

It opens up the Electron app but nothing is visible in the webview I have opened devtools in both the Electron renderer process and the webview, but i do not see any error messages

I have tried:

1. electro-forge
2. electron and electron-packager

steps to run the app

install the global dependencies:

1. install node LTS ie. v6.9.2
2. install electron-forge with "npm install -g electron-forge"

run the React app:

1. git clone https://github.com/deepak/react-todo
2. cd react-todo
3. npm install
4. npm start
5. open "http://localhost:3000/todo" and "http://localhost:3000/" on the browser and checks that it works

run the Electron app:

1. git clone https://github.com/deepak/electron-webview-todo
2. cd electron-webview-todo
3. npm install
4. npm start (works on OSX but not windows 10)
5. we are using electron-forge here
6. try the same with plain Electron at the use-electron-packager-and-not-electron-forge branch
