Passing a UID is not working

[jxns]

The Question:
I am trying to pass UID: 0 to the Python Shell in order to execute my script as root as recommended in #41 . But this only results in the following error:

Uncaught Exception:
Error: spawn EPERM
at ChildProcess.spawn (node:internal/child_process:412:11)
at spawn (node:child_process:707:9)
at new PythonShell (/home/pi/Desktop/app/node_modules/python-shell/index.js:127:55)
at Function.run (/home/pi/Desktop/app/node_modules/python-shell/index.js:249:23)
at IpcMainImpl. (/home/pi/Desktop/app/main.js:100:17)
at IpcMainImpl.emit (node:events:390:28)
at EventEmitter. (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:161:10780)
at EventEmitter.emit (node:events:390:28)

I am using the following code:

PythonShell.run(arg, {uid: 2}, function(err, results){
});

Is there any way to run the child process with sudo privileges?

Are you running your node script as root (sudo)?

[jxns]

No. I am using Electron. Running Electron as root is not supported.

electron/packager#647 might be helpful?
