Unable to load sqlite on electron

Issue type:

[ ] question
[x ] bug report
[ ] feature request
[ ] documentation issue

Database system/driver:

[ ] cordova
[ ] mongodb
[ ] mssql
[ ] mysql / mariadb
[ ] oracle
[ ] postgres
[ ] cockroachdb
[x ] sqlite
[ ] sqljs
[ ] react-native
[ ] expo

TypeORM version:

[x ] latest
[ ] @next
[ ] 0.x.x (or put your version here)

Getting to this block of code:

PlatformTools.load = function (name) {
        if (this.type === "browser")
            throw new Error("This option/function is not supported in the browser environment. Failed operation: require(\"" + name + "\").");
    };

for some reason typeorm thinks it's on a browser platform and I cannot for the life of me figure out why or where the type is set. Is there a way to manually override this so it knows it's in a node environment?

You didn't give us much details on where are you using it, to see if it isn't really a browser part of electron etc.
Without more info I can only refer you to https://github.com/typeorm/electron-typescript-example/blob/master/src/index.ts

Turned out to be an issue with the dynamic "require" with webpack which had a knock on effect

BTW, how was this problem solved? I'm having the exact same problem using TypeORM + Electron + Webpack.

BTW, that's not the first time TypeORM has had conflicts with Webpack...

It was a long time ago but looking at the project I don't think it was solved, it's using sequelize & sequelize-typescript now.

Many thanks. I'll see if I can do some workaround.
