Electron in Docker: SIGTRAP, ELIFECYCLE, errno1 - docker

Question

Introduction
I have a demo Electron app which runs fine when running npm run start from my Mac.
I'm interested in moving the application into a Docker container, but when docker-compose reaches the electron command step, I get the following:
...
> electron --no-sandbox .
/Users/presslertj/WebstormProjects/electron-frontend/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGTRAP
electron_1 | npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

electron_1 | npm ERR! Exit status 1

Questions
What is causing the electron process to fail and how can I fix it?
Is running electron from a container even a reasonable thing to do? To me it seems like an obvious and good idea but the fact that I am having a difficult way paving forward makes me very nervous
