The Problem

There are some problem with maybe my installation of better-sqlite3 because when I try to execute my index.js (click to show it on pastebin) with

node index.js

there is always the same result. I tried on MacOS, it works but in my machine Linux Lite Ubuntu based distro aren't it gave me the following same error:

/home/mp8/webproject/electron-better-sqlite/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:96
  throw err
  ^

Error: Could not locate the bindings file. Tried:

What is my purpose?

I want to use better-sqlie33 as my database because sqlite3 doesn't gave the node 8.x and later support.

What I tried:

  1. This trouble shooting guide number one and two, but I still had the same error.

  2. make init, first installed better-sqlite3 gave me the error file make/makefile not found. I got the same error when I do npm install better-sqlite3 --save

  3. Make sure better_sqlite3.node are on my node-modules path. yeah it isn't there.

What I want?

I want to run my index.js correctly like I ran it on Mac.

Dependecies

package.json after make init, if not it just a better-sqlite3 dependencies

I had a problem that looks like your problem

just try that:

projectToto > $ sudo rm -rf node_modules/

projectToto > $ npm install bindings

npm about binding -> https://www.npmjs.com/package/bindings

I ran into a similar situation until I realized I hadn't explicitly installed build-tools on that machine. Here's what resolved it for me (Ubuntu) when run from inside the project directory

$ rm -rf node_modules/
$ rm package-lock.json

$ npm install build-tools -g
$ npm install

For me, the problem turned out to be a circular dependency in my project (angular 10.1.1, node 12.22.6).

Figuring that out was a little tricky. The Angular compiler gave multiple "WARNING in Circular dependency detected: ..." errors, but none of them included the files where the error was actually introduced. I had to walk the project back until a commit where the problem didn't occur, then investigate what changed. That change seemed pretty innocuous - one file exported a constant that was imported by another. Changing the direction of that export solved the problem.

If nothing works....

create a new folder :

  1. install a fresh copy with npm, which will create node_module folder with all the required files.

  2. copy node_module folder and replace with the existing project node_module folder.

  3. close cmd

  4. restart server.

And it worked for me....
