Electron error Function must be called on an object of type NativeImage

Question

I am working with electron and reactjs and rendering the view with electron js, I am facing an Error: Illegal invocation: Function must be called on an object of type NativeImage after electron version upgrade. I can't downgrade the electron version as some functionality is not working in surface machines.

We have the functionality to capture screenshots but after the package upgrade facing an error while screenshot capture. I am using webview to render view in the electron application.

Here is the code how I am using to load view in webview.

const webview = 

const rawImage = await webview.capturePage()
const URL = rawImage.toPNG()

When I am printing the rawImage I am getting blank object so while rawImage.toPNG() I am facing an error. If anyone has any idea how to fix this error that would be a great help. Thank you.

The Electron 10 release had major changes and if you are using the Electron 10 > the remote module is now disabled by default. To use the remote module, enableRemoteModule: true must be specified in WebPreferences:

const w = new BrowserWindow({
    webPreferences: {
    enableRemoteModule: true
   }
})

For more details check here https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/breaking-changes#default-changed-enableremotemodule-defaults-to-false
