TypeError: setInterval(...).unref is not a function

my program uses electron and react libraries, when I try to use community.login() method I get this error:

This is how I import node-steamcommunity in renderer process:

Everything worked fine on the [email protected] version, but I had to upgrade due to authorization changes.

This is a known incompatibility in Electron that the Electron team has acknowledged and refused to fix.

Package maintainers cannot consider all possible incompatibilities in all possible runtime environments; you'd do well to only use third-party modules in your main process rather than in a Node-enabled renderer process. You're ultimately trying to run code written for Node.js in an environment that's only mostly API-compatible with Node.js.

I'll try to add a workaround when I get to it.

npm update should take care of this for you.

Thank you very much.
