Unable to use in electron projects

[atrauzzi]

I have an electron project which I am building using webpack. I have configured the node-loader plugin so that any requests for .node files are handled correctly. I also am using electron-rebuild to ensure the native module is built against the version of nodejs being used in my electron project.

Unfortunately, it still seems to error out with the following:

 ERROR in ./node_modules/nodegit/dist/nodegit.js
 Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../build/Debug/nodegit.node' in 'C:\Users\atrauzzi\Development\atrauzzi\gerty\node_modules\nodegit\dist'
  @ ./node_modules/nodegit/dist/nodegit.js 18:11-49
  @ ./src/Layer/Domain/Thunktor/Git/CloneGitRepository.ts
  @ ./src/Layer/Gerty/Component/Repository/AddGitHubRepository.tsx
  @ ./src/Layer/Gerty/Component/Repository/AddRepository.tsx
  @ ./src/Layer/Gerty/Component/Workspace.tsx
  @ ./src/Layer/Gerty/Component/App.tsx
  @ ./src/Layer/Gerty/GertyServiceProvider.ts
  @ ./src/Bundle/GertyElectron.ts

The most suspicious thing here is the Debug as when I check the path it's trying to load, all I get is this:

It's a somewhat educated guess, but the fact that I'm only getting Release seems suspicious. I'm just not sure of how to make nodegit request Release instead of Debug or alternatively how to make the build produce a Debug version.

It might be that the instructions to get going with electron and/or webpack need to be updated, but I'm hoping you guys can offer some help in the meantime.

Have posed a general question to Stack Overflow, although I'd love any assistance from maintainers in getting this boulder moved!

check out my boilerplate project i created. It uses Electron, Webpack, React and NodeGit.

dont use nodeloader. Instead use webpack externals, assuming your using webpack.

Follow this article. All you will need is for your --target param to match that of the electron version you wish to compile to.

Hi, can you ellaborate that? I use Electron and try to use nodegit. I installed nodegit through npm i. Thank you!

@atrauzzi
By chance, did you ever manage to get nodegit importing properly via webpack with electron?
