node-pre-gyp is no longer maintained and is bugged for electron users
fcanela opened this issue · comments
Issue Summary
node-sqlite3 depends on node-pre-gyp (an unmaintained library [1]). That library does some conditional requiring of dependencies (aws-sdk and mock-aws-s2) that are places in "devDependencies", not "dependencies" ([2]) and this is causing troubles with electron+sqlite3 (among other users).
This is related with the issues #1704, #1700 and #1691
