I used electron-vue to generate the base for my project. I can get my application to launch, however when I attempt to run yarn test, I get the following error:

To get better-sqlite3 to work in development mode, I did have to add "postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps" to my package.json. I don't understand why the tests are failing when the dependent modules are clearly there.
I thought this might have been a bug and added an issue to electron's github but there haven't been any comments on it.
This can be reproduced locally with the following:
git clone https://gitlab.com/djsumdog/tagster.git
git checkout ca712c4c
yarn
yarn test
