Issue Details

**Electron Forge Version: **

To Reproduce

Pull the electron-app branch of my app, install the live-plugin-manager and initialize the manager.

Additional Information

Generally this bug might be caused by the live-plugin-manager. I am seraching for solution allowing users locally install npm packages without needing to depend on npm installation. I tried to fetch those packages via HTTP, but then their dependencies are not installed. Maybe there is another way of achieving this without needing to use the live-plugin-manager

Sorry to hear. Seems that webpack combined with native modules is a hard nut to crack: #621 (comment)

linonetwo · 2020-08-30T13:07:02Z

Import fs-extra will cause this bug too.

This is caused by @marshallofsound/webpack-asset-relocator-loader, you can simply comment it out in the :

module.exports = [
  // Add support for native node modules
  {
    test: /\.node$/,
    use: 'node-loader',
  },
  // {
  //   test: /\.(m?js|node)$/,
  //   parser: { amd: true },
  //   use: {
  //     loader: '@zeit/webpack-asset-relocator-loader',
  //     options: {
  //       outputAssetBase: 'native_modules',
  //       emitDirnameAll: true,
  //     },
  //   },
  // },
  {
    test: /\.tsx?$/,

...

I can't understand why we need this plugin, it seems useless according to its readme...

And I try replace it with @zeit/webpack-asset-relocator-loader, then there will be Uncaught ReferenceError: __dirname is not defined bug vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader#97

So currently just comment it out, and it is fixed.

karlitos · 2020-09-01T09:34:49Z

Many thanks @linonetwo, I commented the rule out and this fixed the build errors. I also wonder what the webpack-asset-relocator-loader is good for. I have to test the app further and see if I can build and package my app without any further problems.

timfish · 2021-01-06T22:20:15Z

webpack-asset-relocator-loader finds and relocates assets. Most importantly in the electron-forge context, it relocates binaries for node native modules when bundling with Webpack.

electron-forge uses a patched version which hasn't been updated for a while.

linonetwo · 2021-01-07T02:45:58Z

well, why electron-forge works fine without it?

timfish · 2021-01-07T12:10:55Z

Unless you're using a native node module, you are unlikely to need webpack-asset-relocator-loader...

dianlight · 2021-01-18T21:56:29Z

I don't know but in my project if I use the original @vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader work fine also with native modules.

barbalex · 2021-08-23T12:55:44Z

Still getting this with v6.0.0-beta.59. Hoping for #2149 to solve it 🙏

barbalex · 2021-09-09T11:54:52Z

v6.0.0-beta.60 finally solved this for us 🚀

barbalex · 2021-09-09T12:09:53Z

Nope, on next yarn dev I got:

Weird that that did not happen on the first run of yarn dev after upgrading.

So this issue should be re-opened

malept · 2021-09-09T14:48:18Z

So this issue should be re-opened

No, see https://www.electronforge.io/config/plugins/webpack#native-modules

barbalex · 2021-09-09T18:07:37Z

@malept Thanks a lot. I did not realize that the docs had changed. Following that advice I now run into #2361

barbalex · 2021-09-19T16:06:13Z

O.k., so after lots of experimenting I completely changed the way to use externals. I am now following https://www.electronforge.io/config/plugins/webpack#native-modules closely, using @vercel/webpack-asset-relocator-loader. And it works.

What broke it for me was the fact that my project had quite some history, struggling with the native library. So it used a lot of tips and tricks found in a number of other issues. Which seem not to work anymore for newer versions of electron-forge. Add to that my not understanding what is going on here, and you get quite a confusing mess.

Thanks a lot for this great tool, @malept
