7zip-lite folder

I am using Babel with webpack and __dirname was always resolving to '/'. The fix for me is to add to the webpack config:

node: { __dirname: true }

I get a similar issue (probably because on Mac, it's 7zip/index.js instead of 7zip-lite/7z.exe).

You just need to import the default exported value for this to happen:

  const { default: installExtension } = require('electron-devtools-installer')

@CzBuCHi are you using webpack or any bundler that is including electron-devtools-installer in the bundle? That was my issue, as __dirname resolves to the bundle location, instead of the source of this module.

If you use webpack, check out webpack-node-externals.

Setting node: { __dirname: true } in my project has a lot of other issues and this is not possible. Any other solutions?

This issue hasn't been resolved in over a year now and I can't use the node: { __dirname: true } "fix". Any update on this one @MarshallOfSound?

I don't have time to look into every issue and this one is a weboack config specific issue with a known workaround. If someone wants to fix it good on them... But I don't have the time to

[starriv]

use webpack-node-externals can resolve this issue

Possible fix, based on not using the buggy 7-zip package at all: #92
