Error: Could not locate the bindings file

[ahmedmukhtar1133]

Node: 14.19 Environment: Mac M1 Chip (Monterey - 12.4) Electron: 12.2.3

I've just installed the package, and configured the DeepLink. But when I start the app it's looking for the node bindings at incorrect path so app crashes.

I've checked correct binary path is: /Users/ahmad-goraya/Documents/projects/repeato-studio/node_modules/electron-deeplink/build/releases/electron-deeplink.node

Expected: Package should search for bindings at correct location.

Workaround: For now I manually copied the build directory from node_modules/electron-deeplink and put at root path then it starts working fine.

See attached screenshot for reference:

Thanks for the report, I'll take a look asap.

The issue is related to the node-gyp version used in the package, and I need to up the node version requirements to LTS. I'm actively working on this as a v2.

I got the same error and solved it by excluding electron-deeplink from the bundle. I'm using webpack, so I've added it to externals section of config.

When it is bundled require('bindings')('native-file.node') cannot determine coorect path because searching it near package dist folder (so it is not supported to be bundled).
