But on : var Database = require('better-sqlite3') I have this error

win7 x64
electron 1.6.11
node 6.11.0
npm 3.10.10

App threw an error during load

it looks like a bug with the bindings module. I suggest opening up an issue in that repository.

I'm having this error while using better-sqlite on windows as well. In my case, I'm using it inside ubuntu console within windows. @sevenqi did you file an issue with bindings module? Would like to see this get resolved quickly 😄 .

I tried to use electron-rebuild rebuild it, the arguments use -v 1.6.3(this version maybe need to change if your system isn't win7), It's successful
@agauniyal you can try if you used it in electron apps too.

[agauniyal]

Please leave it open, I never used electron here so still applicable to me :)

@jimmont your issue is different from the other ones in this thread. Yours looks like a problem with npm. It's failing to install the bindings module.

Error: Cannot find module 'electron-spellchecker'

Error generate :- Mailspring could find the mailsync process. If you're building Mailspring from source, make sure mailsync.tar.gz has been downloaded and unpacked in your working copy.
