7zip-lite folder

for some reason when executing this code in electron main:

const { default: installExtension, REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS, REDUX_DEVTOOLS, REACT_PERF } = require('electron-devtools-installer');

installExtension(REACT_DEVELOPER_TOOLS).then((name) => console.log(`Added Extension: ${name}`)).catch((err) => console.log('An error occurred: ', err));
installExtension(REDUX_DEVTOOLS).then((name) => console.log(`Added Extension: ${name}`)).catch((err) => console.log('An error occurred: ', err));
installExtension(REACT_PERF).then((name) => console.log(`Added Extension: ${name}`)).catch((err) => console.log('An error occurred: ', err));

i get ‘file not found’ error for [directory where electron main is]/7zip-lite/7z.exe

i was able to fix this simply by copying node_modules/7zip/7zip-lite folder over there - then electorn successfully installs all 3 tools and error goes away even if i remove copied 7zip-lite folder.

im guessing, that somewhere in code u have wrong path to 7z.exe - not pointing to node_modules …

I am using Babel with webpack and __dirname was always resolving to ‘/’. The fix for me is to add to the webpack config:

node: { __dirname: true }
