sqlite3 db-file is not found within app.asar

happy easter,

Trying to create a build for mac osx, also working on a mac. This is a part of my package.json to show what i use (based on electron-boilerplate-sqlite):

"dependencies": {
    "sqlite3": "^3.1.8"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "electron": "^1.6.2",
    "electron-builder": "^10.17.3"
  }

This is how i set the path to the db-file const dbFile = path.join(__dirname, ‘/appData.db’);

In the build the path is like this: /Users/[USERNAME]/[PATH-TO-CONTENT]/Contents/Resources/app.asar/app/appData.db

… and I end up with an error: SQLITE_CANTOPEN: unable to open database file

Now setting asar to false in the build-options. The path is now like this: /Users/[USERNAME]/[PATH-TO-CONTENT]/Contents/Resources/app/app/appData.db

The app works fine. How can i solve this problem?

regards, jo

thanks for the hint, but it seems to be not very handy… i end up here:

"extraResources": ["appData.db"],

and here:

const dbFile = path.join(__dirname, ‘/appData.db’).replace(‘/app.asar’, ‘’);

hmmm…

hi evryone i fix it with this in packege.json , in build section add: “extraResources”: [ “path/to/database.sqlite3” ], in main.js add use: const getDBPath = (filename) => { let base = app.getAppPath() if (app.isPackaged) { base = base.replace(‘\app.asar’, ‘’) } return path.resolve(base, path/to/${filename}.sqlite3) }
