TypeError: Cannot read property 'clipboard' of undefined

I am adding copy to clipboard functionality on my app (using Electron).

I use this command:

methods: {
   copyToClipboard () {
       if (process.env.MODE === 'electron') {
            this.$q.electron.clipboard.writeText(this.logText)
       }
   }
}

But then I get an error message:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'clipboard' of undefined 

I wonder why. On a separate vue file (main layout vue), I also call this.$q.electron functions (minimize, maximize, etc) and they work fine. The same functions when I try using this component also generates the same error.

I initially used to do this but I need to change implementation since this doesn’t work when I build for web (I use web for Cypress testing):

const { clipboard } = require('electron')
clipboard.writeText(this.logText)

Is this.$q.electron only allowed to be used on certain files/levels?

Nevermind. Fixed this by using the built-in Quasar functoin copyToClipboard() instead.

import { copyToClipboard } from 'quasar'

Thanks
