sudo-prompt | command using sudo , prompting the user with an OS dialog | Speech library

I'd like to import a cert (x509) to local keystore (win and macOS). With this electron app user can create a website locally and can enable HTTPS that's why we need to store the cert.

In some rare cases the user get an error message during cert import only on macOS:

Command failed: security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain /Users/user/ssl/asdasd.local.crt SecTrustSettingsSetTrustSettings: The authorization was denied since no user interaction was possible.

If the user run the exact same command with sudo in terminal it works as expected.

Note: All users who get this error message has enabled apple watch authentication, but we know a user who has also enabled apple watch auth end he didn't get error message.

In electron renderer process we run the following commands with sudo-prompt npm package. Every time first we delete the cert from keystore if it does exist and add the new one.

Windows add cert:

I am on a small electron app right now that uses vue and typescript. When i run the app in dev mode, everything works fine, but when I build the app with electron builder some modules get lost somehow. In my case the modules adm-zip and sudo-prompt somehow vanish during the build. So when the app starts, i get an error on this lines const AdmZip = window.require('adm-zip'); I already tried to switch out the moduls with different ones, but that does not seem to matter. I guess it is a problem with webpack and typescript, but as I am not much of a webpack/electron guy, I surely miss something here. Other modules are working, like all the node stuff or the electron-store module that I am also using.

Is this a common problem and do i have to import the modules differently somehow? Import or the normal require do not work, I always have to do the window.require

I'm building a macOS app using Electron

I try to run the following command from the main process using ipcMain and NodeJS's exec.

I'm getting the following error whenever I try to run my app:

My package.json:

I'm developing an Electron application, from which I need to install a dependency.
The package sudo-prompt ended up partly working.
My code:

On occasion, the user initiates an action in my Node app that requires escalated administrator or root privileges. Rather than ask users to run the app with sudo, I would like to prompt the user for their password and escalate the privileges of the already-running Node process.

I am not interested in my app executing a child process with sudo (as is already possible with sudo-prompt). I want the node process itself to gain root privileges after having been started by a non-root user without sudo.

One example of an app that displays behavior exhibiting the problem:
