I'm working on an open source electron project which I am building using webpack. One requirement for my project is to use the nodegit library which has to be built as a native module.
I've followed what appears to be conventional advice when working with native modules and electron. That is, I run electron-rebuild, have configured the source package to use and finally have configured node-loader to catch the import of any .node files.
Unfortunately, when I go to include the module, I end up with this error:
ERROR in ./node_modules/nodegit/dist/nodegit.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../build/Debug/nodegit.node' in
'C:\Users\atrauzzi\Development\atrauzzi\gerty\node_modules\nodegit\dist'
@ ./node_modules/nodegit/dist/nodegit.js 18:11-49
@ ./src/Layer/Domain/Thunktor/Git/CloneGitRepository.ts

@ ./src/Layer/Gerty/Component/Workspace.tsx
@ ./src/Layer/Gerty/Component/App.tsx
@ ./src/Layer/Gerty/GertyServiceProvider.ts
@ ./src/Bundle/GertyElectron.ts
The only thing I can see that's suspicious at this point is that when I rebuild the module to work with electron, I only get a Release directory, when the import seems to be looking for Debug:
This could be a red herring however as nodegit is written to try Debug as a fallback after Release has failed.
The general ask here is "How do I get this native module working in my project?".
I also have a corresponding question over at the repo, although on the off chance that my issue is unrelated to the library itself, or that there are some battle-worn veterans of native modules in electron, I figured SO would be a good place to check as well.
