Building typeorm with webpack: Module not found (error for aws-sdk, warning for every other db) #3454

Shin-- · 2019-01-18T17:33:41Z

Issue type:

[x] question
[ ] bug report
[ ] feature request
[ ] documentation issue

Database system/driver:

[ ] cordova
[ ] mongodb
[ ] mssql
[ ] mysql / mariadb
[ ] oracle
[ ] postgres
[x] sqlite
[ ] sqljs
[ ] react-native
[ ] expo

TypeORM version:

[x] latest
[ ] @next
[ ] 0.x.x (or put your version here)

When building my project, the build fails because of missing aws-sdk but also shows warnings for every other option. I want to use sqlite3.
The error happens as soon as I import createConnection and call it. I am currently using this boilerplate but have the same issue with others too. The electron example compiles well and without problems.

How to reproduce:

Clone the boilerplate (I have made some changes to it for my project, but nothing that affects webpack and the build process)
Add "sqlite3": "^4.0.6", "typeorm": "^0.2.12-rc.2" or "typeorm": "^0.2.11" to package.json
Create ormconfig.json as shown in https://github.com/typeorm/electron-typescript-example and import and call createConnection from typeorm (I imported and called it in my main.js/main.production.js within onready of the electron window/app)
Build

I need some webpack expert here.

Error: Can't resolve 'mssql' in '/home/shin/Repos/electron-react-typescript-boilerplate/node_modules/typeorm/platform'

Why it tries to load every require? (even if it never enters this guarded by if block scope?)

serhiizx · 2019-01-23T22:19:01Z

The same problem.

cike8899 · 2019-01-24T07:17:30Z

got the same problem

serhiizx · 2019-01-24T12:57:08Z

Minimum steps to reproduce

$ npm install typeorm -g
$ typeorm init --name MyProject --database mysql
$ cd MyProject
$ tsc
$ webpack index=./build/index.js --output-path='./dist' --output-filename='index.js' --target='node' -p

Shin-- · 2019-01-26T11:09:37Z

This example by @rohmanhm uses typeorm through ipcMain by catching signals sent by icpRenderer inside actions, if I understand correctly. This might be a workaround, but the repository doesn't compile for me out of the box and I don't have the time to get it working right now. If anyone is interested, this could help.

Update: I spent some time trying this approach out, and well, it seems to work. It means you basically add another layer and have to define everything twice and hope it somehow works. At least it compiles, but it also caused me some problems while building the app for production. For now I will have to continue setting var typeorm = require('typeorm') inside my app.html, importing const typeorm = (window as any).typeorm inside my actions and creating and adding a connection to my store via typeorm.createConnection. It is a really ugly solution but works as long you don't import and use anything that returns an object. Fortunately the querybuilder takes strings >_>
I really hope we find a solution for this soon

This error does only happen with Electron 4.x for me. Switching to Electron 3.1.x works fine. I tried setting webPreferences options to their 3.x defaults with no success. (https://electronjs.org/blog/electron-4-0#webpreferences-default-values)

Shin-- · 2019-02-16T12:23:56Z

Can you post how you got it running with 3.1.x? I tried downgrading to a lower version than 4 but the same issue persists for me.

timoschwarzer · 2019-02-17T21:38:41Z

@Shin-- I just realized that my issue was not caused by Webpack and is not related to this issue.

But for reference, here is my setup:

Vue (app created with Vue CLI 3)
electron-builder
electron 3.1.x
TypeORM with sqlite3

sarink · 2019-07-10T05:00:15Z

@timoschwarzer well what was the issue, then?

timoschwarzer · 2019-07-10T06:15:49Z

@sarink #4210

imnotjames · 2020-10-04T04:31:25Z

Should be fixed more or less with the latest release

jjhbw · 2020-10-05T08:48:30Z

Can confirm! Thanks @imnotjames
