knex is looking for mssql, not mysql 🤦‍♂️. Run npm i mssql to resolve this issue 👍.

[rakakhrl]

I already install mssql and other db driver like pg and mysql2 but still got the same error. Before i create an issue here i create one in knex repo but they say its not knex related bug and told me i should ask here.

I also try to clone the electron-quick-start repo and install knex and mysql, and have no problem when i serve the app.

[nklayman]

After installing mssql, it works fine for me.

Try with a fresh project.

I have same issue, tried this solution but no luck. It seems the only solution is to install all modules in the not found list, though my app use sqlite3 only.

[nklayman]

@chen-xin Make sure to mark sqlite3 as an external:

// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
  pluginOptions: {
    electronBuilder: {
      externals: ['sqlite3'],
      // If you are using Yarn Workspaces, you may have multiple node_modules folders
      // List them all here so that VCP Electron Builder can find them
      nodeModulesPath: ['../../node_modules', './node_modules']
    }
  }
}

Thank you @nklayman, Now I am luck! And you are so warmhearted mentioning the Yarn part, this really enlightened me.

I have recently stumbled upon the same issue, searched and tried everything I can find or think of -- without success. I'm attempting to use this wonderful plugin, along with knex and sqlite3, the same as above. I can't seem to get past this error without installing all the modules.

To recreate the exact scenario, here are the steps I've taken:

1. Install cli
2. create project and cd to directory
3. Add plugin
4. yarn add knex
5. yarn add sqlite3
6. in background.js, added knex with example code:
   var knex = require('knex')({ client: 'sqlite3', connection: { filename: databaseLocation } });
7. create a vue.config.js file in the project root (beside package.json), added sqlite3 in externals and tried with (and without) nodeModulesPath.

Then when running 'yarn electron:serve' it still triggers the error. Is there anything obvious I'm missing? If anyone has advice, or ideas to try, I'm all ears!

[nklayman]

@krisism Have you tried adding knex as an external in vue.config.js?

[krisism]

That did the trick, thank you so much for that tip @nklayman . You're a gentleman and a scholar.

i having the same issue trying but trying to using knex with mysql. i already tried to add knex and mysql as an external in vue.config.js but still not works. (english is not my first language)

[nklayman]

@Yurematias try adding ./node_modules to the nodeModulesPath array.

[yuredev]

I tried but still not works

[yuredev]

The error was mine, i created the vue.config.js in the wrong place, but i moved for the root and followed your tip and resolved. thank you so much bro.
