I get that after i pack my electron app and running the exe. Any clue whats wrong?

My main.js:

require('bytenode');
require('./main.jsc');

How i use bytenode:

const bytenode = require('bytenode');
..
const modifiedFile = await bytenode.compileFile({
    filename: './main.js'
});

The issue lies in your new testclass.js file. You have to export your class again:

require('bytenode');
module.exports = require('./testclass.jsc');

Or, you can use .jsc directly from your “old” main.js, i.e. change it to use testclass.jsc before compiling it:

const Test = require('./testclass.jsc');

a = new Test(1, 2);
a.print();

Or, if you delete the plain .js files, the require function will automatically use the .jsc files, given that you have required bytenode as you’ve already done in your first line.

I also tried

const bytenode = require('bytenode');
..
const modifiedFile = await bytenode.compileFile({
    filename: './main.js',
    electron: true
});

Gives same error.
