"The specified module could not be found." although module does exist

[jonnysmith1981]

I have succesfully downloaded and built the win32 x64 version of this module for Electron 1.6.1. However when i run the electron app, i get the following error:

The specified module could not be found: electron\app\node_modules\win-sqlcipher\node_modules\sqlite3\lib\binding\electron-v1.6-win32-x64\node_sqlite3.node

However I have confirmed that the module does actually exist in that path.

I also count this problem

Same thing here. How did you rebuild the module? Was it by simply using electron-rebuild?

I've reproduced it in the nwtest.

@fritx I'm experiencing this problem in Electron as well. Is this something you are working on?

[fritx]

Yes, I'm trying to add an electron test to win-sqlcipher as well.

unix-sqlcipher seems to have no problem with this,
just installing cross-sqlcipher and then electron-rebuild (with electron v1.6.10):
fritx/unix-sqlcipher@f9670a8#diff-8403e4058fa0aef6b1fae216ff3c8c9c.

Sorry about the trouble, it would take a few days to look into the win problem.

@fritx cool! Looking forward to it! This repository looks like a dream! It's been so hard to use sqlcipher with electron on Windows and win-sqlcipher just looks THE plug n' play solution!

I solve this problem by rebuilding sqlite3 with electron and openssl. other things to remind, you may need to build sqlcipher with the static lib, otherwise your app can not run in other's computer

@lihang1870719 👍 nice, could you share more details?
ref: #1, fritx/cross-sqlcipher#2

What versions of node/npm/node-gyp/node-pre-gyp stuffs did you use, @ALL?

Btw, cross/win/unix-sqlcipher was built against node4/npm2, which is so old,
see https://github.com/fritx/win-sqlcipher/blob/dev/postinstall.js#L23
I'm gonna to bump a minor version for npm3+ structure once I have time.

Good news!
I've successfully run cross-sqlcipher in Windows with electron.

Details:

• os: Windows 7
• node: 7.9.0
• npm: 4.2.0
• electron: 1.7.0
• electron-rebuild: 1.5.11
• cross-sqlcipher: 0.0.2
• similar to https://github.com/fritx/unix-sqlcipher/blob/dev/electron

Btw, I'll add some automated CI for multiple versions of windows/node/npm/electron.
Even to cache built target and upload to the web like node-pre-gyp.

Solved it after replacing OpenSSL.

libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll (win32/win64) included in sources or ensure env.PATH

Maybe one more thing to be done, about the openssl, any idea? @liubiggun
