so I am making an application that requires a backend API, and it uses certain node_modules which don't work when compiling with Electron. To fix this, I put the API code into a separate JavaScript file, which I am attempting to fork using child_process.
I have gotten this to work when compiling, but it immediately stops working after I move the "win-unpacked" folder or try to install the app using the compiled installer.
I have checked, and it is not the path that is wrong, it is correctly pointing to the file. From testing, it appears that the file actually does get forked, but immediately exits with the status code 1.
I can't use require(./filepath.js) because that will just include the code in the compiler, which doesn't work with the modules I am using.
I am hoping someone knows what is wrong and what I should do to fix it, or have any ideas for other ways to run the server code without including it in the compiler.
I am using Vue.js 3 and vue-cli-electron-builder version 2.1.1
The server I am attempting to run is a express server.
