core_AbstractPage_client is not defined in production

[imyosh]

Hello, I have been using the package with electron 26.2.1 in the main process (node.js)

it works nicely in the dev mood, but in production it produce the attached error about core_AbstractPage_client being undefined

it's can be produced by just setting up a function with:

  const anthropic = new Anthropic({
    apiKey: "****"
  });

appreciate your help!

Hmm, we don't explicitly support electron. What version of Node is it running under the hood? Or does it use another engine?

@imyosh I've created an example repository where the anthropic ai sdk is used in an electron app https://github.com/linus-amg/electron-anthropic-sdk

I'm currently on MacOS so I did not try in an environment which uses windows (as you seem to do), but I hope it works for you too. Don't hesitate to ping me if you have any additional questions.

Parts of the code which might matter when you try to implement this yourself:

• https://github.com/linus-amg/electron-anthropic-sdk/blob/main/src/main.ts#L29 adds an event handler to a node internal event called trigger-anthropic-sdk
• which get's exposed to the rendering process via https://github.com/linus-amg/electron-anthropic-sdk/blob/main/src/preload.ts#L7
• which in the end gets invoked via frontend code here: https://github.com/linus-amg/electron-anthropic-sdk/blob/main/index.html#L28

hope this helps, good luck!

@linus-amg thanks so much for the reproduction repo! I just tested it locally against the new alpha and it worked! Please re-open if you're still running into this.
