Developed an application with core 2.2 MVC and followed all the steps to use electron. After starting the application, the electron window opens with the splash page, however, I am receiving an error for jquery - Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'fn' of undefined. Googled a lot for a solution without success. Any assistance to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Are you trying to load jQuery yourself?

Electron already uses jQuery, so you have to load it a bit differently to use in your own scripts. I'm doing it like this:

You could copy this and replace the path to match your own project structure.

The asp-attribute is optional. You shouldn't need it for this file but I use it anyway.
