Description

So no real errors here showing up. Map works fine in the browser. When it gets embedded in an Electron application, it does not work anymore (as in the map doesn't even fire up). Anyone had the same issues?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the mapbox-gl-js map inside an Electron application, then inspect the Electron runtime output for why the map does not start. Compare that behavior with the working browser case. Done means the map initializes in Electron without the reported failure.
