Steps to reproduce
use npx create-electron-app@latest my-new-app --template=vite-typescript to create project
use npm install tdl prebuilt-tdlib
import tdl from "tdl";
import { getTdjson } from "prebuilt-tdlib";
tdl.configure({ tdjson: getTdjson() });
const client = tdl.createClient({
apiId: 0,
apiHash: "...",
});
npm run start
Additional information
When I don't use vite, it worke. (use npx create-electron-app@latest my-app)
I found that, tdl use node-gyp-build to load .node file
@qiaoshouzi I believe the issue is the tdl.node and tdjson.dll are not being included in the build (.vite) folder that's why this issue exists, for now you can use this, I tried many ways to make it work, I tried changining preStart function as well, I thought the issue exists only in build server but it maybe either in @electron/rebuild idk, I may need to dig deeper.
Till that time you can try this workaround, mind you, just typescript recommendations wont work otherwise it is working in dev
