Standalone version of devtools not launching on bun

I get this error:

Error: Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again

I tried deleting hte entire node_modules directory and reinstalling, but it's not working.

Have you tried npm -g remove electron ?

@Lootjs That didn't help

[rp1231]

I had installed it using bun.
But I deleted the bun version and installed the npm version and now it works.
So maybe the problem was just with the bun version.

Great! Maybe you could make a PR and mention the solution in https://github.com/vuejs/devtools-next/blob/main/docs/help/troubleshooting.md. What do you think?

[rp1231]

It's not really a solution though, the problem still exists in the bun package for me.

Let's track if someone else reports this issue.

oven-sh/bun#1588, looks like an upstream issue
