Electron App released only show blank screen, but working well in development mode

Question

I'm making an electron app and it's using @ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg module. It's working well in the development mode but not working when releasing the app. It shows blank page and can't find the ffmpeg-installer module. enter image description here .

This is the electron build configuration

"build": {
    "productName": "DeskreenRecorder",
    "appId": "com.sultanov.Deskreen",
    "copyright": "Copyright © 2022-present Ilvircr Sultanov",
    "files": [
      "dist/",
      "node_modules/",
      "app.html",
      "peerConnectionHelperRendererWindow.html",
      "main.prod.js",
      "main.prod.js.map",
      "package.json",
      "locales/",
      "client/build"
    ],
    "dmg": {
      "contents": [
        {
          "x": 130,
          "y": 220
        },
        {
          "x": 410,
          "y": 220,
          "type": "link",
          "path": "/Applications"
        }
      ]
    },
    "win": {
      "target": [
        "nsis",
        "msi",
        "portable"
      ]
    },
    "portable": {
      "artifactName": "${name}_${version}_Windows_portable.exe"
    },
    "linux": {
      "target": [
        "deb",
        "rpm",
        "AppImage"
      ],
      "category": "Development"
    },
    "directories": {
      "buildResources": "resources",
      "output": "release"
    },
    "publish": {
      "provider": "github",
      "owner": "leosultanov",
      "repo": "deskreen-recorder",
      "private": true
    }
  }

Where is this module stored? You have to use correct import path in your JS. — kiner_shah, Jan 25 '22 at 05:02
Thank you for your interest @kiner_shah yes, I used the correct import path. It's stored root_dir\node_modules\ffmpeg-installer. and It's working well in dev mode. I guess the issue is caused by the electron-builder configuration for ffmpeg-installer. — Ilvircr Sultanov, Jan 25 '22 at 15:14
Can you edit the post and include the configuration details? — kiner_shah, Jan 26 '22 at 06:06
Please don't post image, copy and paste the code within the post itself. — kiner_shah, Jan 26 '22 at 07:15
Please edit the question and include it there. It's difficult to read in comments. — kiner_shah, Jan 26 '22 at 07:22

It was very helpful. There was no issue with the electron build configuration. I resolved the issue. there is a child process in my app. so I included @ffmpeg-installer/mpeg in the child process package.json. Thank you for your help. — Ilvircr Sultanov, Jan 26 '22 at 10:40
You can post a self-answer so that it can help other developers who might face similar issue. — kiner_shah, Jan 26 '22 at 13:16
