Describe the issue / bug.

# Hi，When I upgrade to electron 5+，and run "yarn run unit"，I got a error from the result .
So I try some method ,just like replace webpack target , delete nodejs lib in render directory, add the global windows.require, but all the methods has no working.

Electron 6.0.9 (Node 12.4.0): Executed 0 of 0 ERROR (1.413 secs / 0 secs)

Dose any body can run this project by electron 5+ ?

How can I reproduce this problem?

# upgrade to electron 5+，and run "yarn run unit"

If visual, provide a screenshot.

As of version 5, the default for nodeIntegration changed from true to false. You can enable it when creating the Browser Window

 mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
        webPreferences: {
            nodeIntegration: true
        }
    })

I had try this method , but no effecting :(

I try many demo ,but their electron version is too old , I have to use the latest version and config group.

Now ,this repo is the best and every feature is passed except for unit test

I am also encountering this problem. I have tried many solutions found both here and elsewhere and none seem to be working. My dependencies all seem to be up to date (Electron is at 7+), and nodeIntegration is true for my browser, but when I try to run unit tests, I get the same error:

Electron 7.1.1 (Node 12.8.1) ERROR
  {
    "message": "Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined\nat webpack:///external%20%22path%22:1 <- index.js:7:119938\n\nundefined",
    "str": "Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined\nat webpack:///external%20%22path%22:1 <- index.js:7:119938\n\nundefined"
  }

My project has just reached the point where TDD is a necessity, so this has the potential to completely halt my development until I can find a fix.

EDIT: Mac OS Mojave 10.14.5, Node 12.8.1, NPM 6.13.0

Same here.
Electron 6.0.12 (Node 12.4.0) ERROR { "message": "Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined\nat webpack:///external%20%22path%22:1 <- index.js:13:8104\n\nundefined", "str": "Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined\nat webpack:///external%20%22path%22:1 <- index.js:13:8104\n\nundefined" }

Also tried updating karma-electron to the newest version 6.3.0 which is supposed to solve the require issues related to nodeIntegration, but no luck.
