将 sqlite3 添加到 Electron-forge 应用程序后，应用程序将不再运行

Question

i am trying to integrate sqlite3 into my electron-forge application. But whatever I try it always fails. I have tried

1. using "scripts": {"postinstall": "install-app-deps",}
2. installing it with npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source
3. using electron-rebuild like so "scripts": {"rebuild": "electron-rebuild -f -w sqlite3"}

all of the above came from some post somewhere where people would have issues in using sqlite3 in conjunction with electron-forge. Now the problem is that after I did any if the above mentioned things when I try to run my app I get the following (edited paths)

An unhandled error has occurred inside Forge:
Die Projekte in dieser Projektmappe werden nacheinander erstellt. Um eine parallele Erstellung zu erm�glichen, m�ssen Sie den Schalter "/m" hinzuf�gen.

  C:\...\angular\node_modules\sqlite3\node_modules\nan\nan.h(929): note: see declaration of 'Nan::MakeCallback'

And a ton more like these warnings.

And somewhere in between all these warnings I actualy get one error:

C:\...\.electron-gyp\.node-gyp\iojs-3.0.13\x64\iojs.lib : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x2F866A [C:\...\angular\node_modules\sqlite3\build\node_sqlite3.vcxproj]

With all these warnings and that one error I am totaly lost, so any help is very much appreciated.

Answer 1

With electron-forge, there seems to be some problem running the app with sqlite3. Try making sqlite3 (I am using better-sqlite3) as an external dependency in your webpack configuration.

  externals: {
    'better-sqlite3': 'commonjs better-sqlite3',
  },

This works in the dev environment but it fails in the build (after running make).
The better-sqlite3 won't be found in the build, since we have made it external dependency.

Didn't get a proper solution yet.
