Webpack brings its own require which clobbers node.js' require, so when you require a node.js core module that webpack can't resolve to one of your files or dependencies, it throws. (You can see in your stack trace that it includes __webpack_require__. That's because webpack rewrites all requires to __webpack_require__ so that it uses it's own internal node.js-esque system). Webpack is built for the web/browsers so it doesn't play well with node out of the box. To get around it you can use this: https://github.com/chentsulin/webpack-target-electron-renderer.

But I'd also consider using webpack at all, see: why use webpack with electron
