Errors in Electron >= v21 due to Memory Cage

version: 2.3.1-next.20221115224324

Hi,

when calling Screen.grabRegion from Electron >= v21, following error is thrown:

Fatal error in V8: v8_ArrayBuffer_NewBackingStore When the V8 Sandbox is enabled, ArrayBuffer backing stores must be allocated inside the sandbox address space. Please use an appropriate ArrayBuffer::Allocator to allocate these buffers.

I believe this is caused by the Electron feature "Memory Cage", which cannot be simply deactivated.

Hi @raphaelmenges 👋

here’s a related upstream issue nodejs/node-addon-api#1227

Will keep track on this to see when it’ll land.

Thanks @s1hofmann for the swift reply and relevant pointer!

The Node/Electron world is so fastly evolving, it is difficult to keep track 🥴 Looking forward for a solution, because the newer Electron versions fix issues that are relevant for me otherwise 😣

Should be fixed with Electron release 21.3.4
