Electron crashes under WSL (Bash on Windows)

[kurisubrooks]

• Electron version: v1.3.2
• Operating system: Linux running Unity under VcXsrv (X Server)

Now, I understand that WSL is not a supported platform, but I thought the bug might be relevant on some particular Linux Distros that don't meet all package requirements. I'd be happy to provide you with any information if you'd like to setup an environment for testing this.

The given error is:

[15826:0804/155819:FATAL:render_sandbox_host_linux.cc(40)]
    Check failed: 0 == shutdown(renderer_socket_, SHUT_RD). shutdown: Invalid argument

WSL doesn't fully implement the shutdown system call, and it triggered an assertion in Chromium. I suggest reporting this to Microsoft instead.

Thanks for your comment, i've created an issue with Microsoft.

Any update on this @kurisubrooks?

I'm attempting to use nightmarejs through bash on windows and it appears to just hang. This would be very useful from a xplat perspective.

[kurisubrooks]

Haven't had the chance to check this lately. Windows 10 Fall Creators Update released today, perhaps they've fixed some bugs under WSL?

[justinmchase]

Maybe, it wasn't crashing for me but it was hanging. I definitely could be doing it wrong though. Found this while searching and was just trying to see if anyone has found the magic combination yet.

Specific bug that prevents this from working natively has been known for quite some time in this comment in WSL/2293 Is it possible investigate this and provide a reasonably quick solution?
