Running linux executable throws "Error: Cannot find module 'source-map-support/source-map-support.js'"

[bdiz]

Hi, thanks for the plugin. Gets me close.

I'm able to yarn serve:electron with no problem. yarn build:electron seems ok too until I try to run the linux binary. I get Error: Cannot find module 'source-map-support/source-map-support.js'.

I tried yarn add source-map-support and yarn add source-map-support --dev but neither seemed to help.

I've listed my build steps and versions.

Thanks.

$ yarn serve:electron
# serves just fine.
$ yarn build:electron
yarn run v1.6.0
$ vue-cli-service build:electron

Same error exists on Windows 10.

[nklayman]

I had the same error until adding source-map-support as a (non dev) dependency on Windows 10, and I published a new version that adds it in the generator. I am not sure if this will fix the issue on linux as well, so let me know if it works. Remember to re-invoke the generator after updating to 0.1.8 with vue invoke electron-builder

[kiswa]

Works for me on Win10. Haven't tested on Linux yet. @bdiz ?

[bdiz]

I can't seem to get by vuejs/vue-cli #1162 in order to verify.

[nklayman]

Try using this suggestion (comment).

[bdiz]

Thanks @nklayman . That suggestion did the trick as did your fix. Linux executable runs and opens gui with no problem now. 👍
