sqlite3 packaging error - Cannot find module

I am trying to bundle sqlite3 into my program, which was installed in the usual way using npm install sqlite3.

I run the following command to package, which runs without errors or warnings.:

chris@chris-server:~/Storage/Programming/tempoServer$ pkg package.json && mv tempo-server-* ./dist/
> pkg@4.4.0
> Targets not specified. Assuming:
  node8-linux-x64, node8-macos-x64, node8-win-x64

After distributing the executable to another machine and executing it, I get the following output:

chris@chris-remote:~/Storage/tempoServer$ ./tempo-server-linux
pkg/prelude/bootstrap.js:1185
      throw error;
      ^

Error: Cannot find module '/snapshot/tempoServer/node_modules/sqlite3/lib/binding/node-v57-linux-x64/node_sqlite3.node'
1) If you want to compile the package/file into executable, please pay attention to compilation warnings and specify a literal in 'require' call. 2) If you don't want to compile the package/file into executable and want to 'require' it from filesystem (likely plugin), specify an absolute path in 'require' call using process.cwd() or process.execPath.

The dependincy is included using const sqlite = require('sqlite3');, and works perfectly when starting the program through NPM.

Any suggestions? I have tried including the entire node_modules folder in my package.json pkg config, as well as just including the sqlite3 folder, both with the same error. Running pkg through pkg server.js also has the same results.

@FabianTe i have a gulp script as following that replaces the code in sqlite3.js file before building an exe

function sqlite(done) { gulp.src(['node_modules/sqlite3/lib/sqlite3.js']) .pipe(replace("require(binding_path)", "require('./node_sqlite3.node)")) .pipe(gulp.dest('node_modules/sqlite3/lib/')) .once("error", function () { this.once("finish", () => process.exit(1));}) .once("end", function() { done()}); }

This should be fixed here: https://github.com/vercel/pkg/blob/master/dictionary/sqlite3.js also now .node files should automatically be added to the executable, if not you just have to specify them in assets
