Electron build error when attempting to use sqlite in app

Wappler General Bugs

There were a few steps I had to go through to get this working.

  1. Make sure there are no spaces in the directory path. I had to rename my Wappler folder to replace spaces with underscores.
  2. Install Python 3.10
  3. Set Python path in Environment variables
  4. Install the Windows Standalone Build Tools. While installing, choose the “Desktop development with C++” workload option.

Visual Studio 2019 installation
Visual Studio 2019 installation2574×1436

4. Run the following command with the year/version of the Standalone Build Tools installed.

npm config set msvs_version 2022
  1. Restart computer

That was all that I needed to successfully build and package Electron after adding sqlite functionality to my app.

Other potential steps can be found here. if the above does not work.
