Hi.
I am building an Electron app and the build process is successful: Flathub builds
To generate the “generated-sources.json” I use the flatpak-node-generator.py script (flatpak-builder-tools/node at master · flatpak/flatpak-builder-tools · GitHub) like this “flatpak-node-generator.py npm --xdg-layout package-lock.json”
After installing the test build and running it, the app crashes and throws this error:
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process Uncaught Exception: Error: Cannot find module './dist/cjs/i18next.js' Require stack: - /app/sleek/resources/app.asar/node_modules/i18next/index.js - /app/sleek/resources/app.asar/src/configs/i18next.config.js - /app/sleek/resources/app.asar/src/main.js - at Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:972:15) at Function.n._resolveFilename (electron/js2c/browser_init.js:249:921) at Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:848:27) at Function.f._load (electron/js2c/asar_bundle.js:5:12694) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1032:19) at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:72:18) at Object.<anonymous> (/app/sleek/resources/app.asar/node_modules/i18next/index.js:2:12) at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1152:30) at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1173:10) at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:992:32)
So for whatever reason at least the inext18 package is not being downloaded or placed into the right place even though it is stated in the generated-sources.json file.
I don’t think the cause is the app itself. I can easily “npm start” the app locally without any errors and the Snapcraft build runs perfectly well. It only crashes after the Flatpak building process.
Does anybody has a little bit of experience with Electron apps and Flatpak and can help me figuring out why this happens?
