Bug fix: Windows Rollup Worktree Fix

[VooDisss]

Windows Rollup Worktree Fix

Symptom

On Windows, a fresh checkout or Git worktree can fail after:

npm install
npm run dev

with an error like:

Error: Cannot find module @rollup/rollup-win32-x64-msvc

Root Cause

This is not a Git worktree-specific bug.

The actual issue is that npm may fail to materialize Rollup's Windows native optional package during install:

• rollup
• @rollup/rollup-win32-x64-msvc

When that package is missing, electron-vite crashes before app startup.

Correct Fix

Declare the Windows Rollup native package explicitly at the workspace root:

"optionalDependencies": {
  "@rollup/rollup-win32-x64-msvc": "^4.52.5"
}

Then update the lockfile:

npm install @rollup/rollup-win32-x64-msvc@4.52.5 --save-optional --package-lock-only

Why This Fix

• fixes the problem at install time
• works for normal checkouts and worktrees
• keeps nested worktrees unchanged
• avoids runtime repair scripts and other hotfixes

Verification

From a fresh Windows checkout or worktree:

npm install
npm run dev

If the fix is present, node_modules/@rollup/rollup-win32-x64-msvc should exist after install.
