How to run with adapter-node?

[vishalbalaji]

I know that this is an old issue, but I was also searching for such a solution and I came upon this.

I made a minimal configuration based on this repo, but with adapter-node. Basically, the built node app is bundled with the application and is started before the window is created. Instead of loading built static files, the electron app loads a URL. This is only a workaround and one caveat of it is that it starts the node app on localhost, which is also accessible through your browser, rather than being scoped to the Electron app. This is the behaviour I was hoping to achieve, but the same may not apply for you.

You can check it out here.

SvelteKit now asks to execute npm run preview command which was missing in package.json, I have added it and now looks fine on my side.

Let me know if it works!

    "dev:package": "npm run build && electron-builder --config electron-builder.config.json --dir",
    "package": "npm run build && electron-builder --config electron-builder.config.json"
  },

Did you have tried without custom packages? Just to make sure that electron and svelte works without issues

[mattpilott]

Ok fixed that issue but adapter-node does not work when you use npm run dev:package or npm run package even tried on this repo without any changes (apart from swapping the adapter in svelte config of course)
