Electron-Prisma Error: can not find module '.prisma/client'

I'm building a Nuxt-electron-prisma app and I kinda stuck here. when I use prisma normally as guided every thing is fine on dev but on build i get this error :
A javascript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught exception:
Error: can not find module : '.prisma/client'
I tried changing prisma provider output to ../resources/prisma/client
generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
output = "../resources/prisma/client"
}
and in main.js of electron
const { PrismaClient } = require('../resources/prisma/client');
const prisma = new PrismaClient()
but I get error Cannot find module '_http_common' at webpackMissingModules in both dev and build ! which by others opinion is caused when using prisma on client-side but I only use it on background.js (main.js of the my boilerplate)
I'm using Nuxtron boilerplate for Nuxt-electron which is using yml file for electron-builder config file and in it I also added prisma to files property:
appId: com.example.app
productName: nuxt-electron-prisma
copyright: Copyright © 2021
nsis:
oneClick: false

files:

- "node_modules/.prisma/**"
- "node_modules/#prisma/client/**"
- from: .
filter:
- package.json
- app
publish: null
and still get errors
in my win-unpacked/resources I have this only: win-unpacked\resources\app.asar.unpacked\node_modules\#prisma\engines
and of course my package.json

The solution provided by Mojtaba Barari works but it results in #prisma packages being present in both resources/app/node_modules and resources/node_modules.
There is a better way how to do it:
{
"build": {
"extraResources": [
{
"from": "node_modules/.prisma/client/",
"to": "app/node_modules/.prisma/client/"
}
],
}
}
In this case, the Prisma client files will be copied directly to resources/app/node_modules where other #prisma packages are already present and so you will save ~ 10 MB compared to the other solution.
EDIT:
My previous solution doesn't work if an application is packaged into an asar archive. You need to use files field instead:
{
"build": {
"files": [
{
"from": "node_modules/.prisma/client/",
"to": "node_modules/.prisma/client/"
}
],
}
}
This is a universal solution which works even if you don't use an asar archive.

Ok, I finally solved it!!
first of all no need to change client generator output direction!
//schema.prisma
datasource db {
provider = "sqlite"
url = "file:../resources/database.db"
}
generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
// output = "../resources/prisma/client" !! no need for this!
}
then in electron-builder config add ./prisma , #prisma and database
// my config file was a .yml
extraResources:
- "resources/database.db"
- "node_modules/.prisma/**/*"
- "node_modules/#prisma/client/**/*"
// or in js
extraResources:[
"resources/database.db"
"node_modules/.prisma/**/*"
"node_modules/#prisma/client/**/*"
]
this solved `Error: cannot find module : '.prisma/client'
but this alone won't read DB in built exe file!
so in main.js where importing #prisma/client should change DB reading directory:
import { join } from 'path';
const isProd = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';
import { PrismaClient } from '#prisma/client';
const prisma = new PrismaClient({
datasources: {
db: {
url: `file:${isProd ? join(process.resourcesPath, 'resources/database.db') : join(__dirname, '../resources/database.db')}`,
},
},
})
with these configs I could fetch data from my sqlite DB

Electron-builder Tray Icon not showing up (Linux Mint 20, electronjs 11, electron-builder 22)

So i have this very simple electron.js test-project which works fine with npm start:
const { app, nativeImage } = require('electron');
const electron = require('electron');
const path = require('path');
const Tray = electron.Tray
const iconpath = path.join(__dirname, './logo_transparent_white_512x512.png')
app.on('ready', function(){
icon = nativeImage.createFromPath(iconpath);
icon = icon.resize({ width: 16, height: 16})
new Tray(icon);
console.log('ready');
})
The package.json looks like this:
{
"name": "electronbuilder",
"version": "1.0.2",
"description": "dadlu",
"main": "main.js",
"homepage": "www.test.com",
"dependencies": {
"path": "^0.12.7"
},
"devDependencies": {
"electron": "^11.1.1",
"electron-builder": "^22.9.1"
},
"scripts": {
"start": "electron .",
"dist": "electron-builder"
},
"author": "test-author",
"license": "ISC",
"build": {
"appId": "com.elecctron.builder",
"productName": "testBuild",

"depends": [
"libappindicator1",
"libnotify4"
]
},
"extraFiles": [
"./logo_transparent_white_512x512.png"
]
}
}
After running:
yarn dist
and waiting a minute, I can install the package. But running it doesn't do anything.
when enabling the console ('add to desktop', 'open with Text Editor', 'Terminal=true') I can observe, that the app started successfully:
console.log('ready') got executed
I tried all sorts of ways to get the tray icon to work, stubbing across the weirdest things. F.e. when building the Icon like this:
tray = new Tray(./logo_transparent_white_512x512.png);
it does work with npm start, but after yarn dist, nothing happends. Though, going into the applications folder and running
$ ./{name}
it starts up fine, including the tray icon. (./logo_transparent_white_512x512.png isn't 512x512, i already resized it to 256x256)
its cant be an lib problem either, because this project can be build fine on my system.
I hope someone can help me, ive got my first real project ready, but can only start it with npm start. Any attempts to build it fail, meaning the tray icon doesn't show up.
If some information is missing, feel free to ask.

How to use auto-launch to start app on system startup?

package.json:
{
"name": "electronapp",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "electron auto-launch",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "electron .",
"build": "electron-packager . --all"
},
"author": "ivie",
"license": "ISC",
"devDependencies": {

"grunt-electron-installer": "^2.1.0",
"rcedit": "^0.9.0"
},
"dependencies": {
"auto-launch": "^5.0.1"
}
}
index.js:
var electron = require('electron');
var app = electron.app;
var BrowserWindow = electron.BrowserWindow;
var path = require('path');
app.on('ready', ()=>{
var mainwindow = new BrowserWindow({
width: 1200,
height: 800,
icon: "favicon.ico",
frame:true,
title:'Menuboard',
fullscreen: false,
autoHideMenuBar: false

mainwindow.openDevTools();
mainwindow.loadURL('https://www.google.com');
mainwindow.on('closed', function() {
mainwindow = null;
});
});
app.on('window-all-closed', function() {
if(process.platform != 'darwin')
app.quit();
})
I have generated an electron .exe using this code. It's getting executed when I'm double clicking on it. But, I want to run it on windows startup. I got to know about auto-launch. But, I'm not sure how to use it in my application? Any help would be appreciated.

Load auto-launch module:
const AutoLaunch = require('auto-launch');
Then add this after app.on('ready', ()=>{:
let autoLaunch = new AutoLaunch({
name: 'Your app name goes here',
path: app.getPath('exe'),
});
autoLaunch.isEnabled().then((isEnabled) => {
if (!isEnabled) autoLaunch.enable();
});

FYI this is now provided by Electron out of the box:
https://electronjs.org/docs/api/app#appsetloginitemsettingssettings-macos-windows
Example:
const electron = require("electron")
electron.app.setLoginItemSettings({
openAtLogin: arg.settings.startOnStartup,
path: electron.app.getPath("exe")
});
EDIT
Based on new comments, this may be out of date. Consider trying Timur Nugmanov's answer first.

At current electron release(19.0.0), the code below works fine:
app.setLoginItemSettings({
openAtLogin: true
})

Electron react build not launching

I'm having some issues while trying to glue together this two things.
Let me give you some context: I'm trying to build a desktop application based on a web application that I've developed in react and it's fully operative and the build process of react is done without any errors nor issues. The problem comes when I try to glue Electron + a React Built Project.
I'm having the following structure:
/ dist
/ node_modules
/ react-mobx-router
/ build
/ static
/ js
main.05ef4655.js
/ css
main.9d8efafe.css
index.html
index.js
At the index.js i have the following code that's basically the sample boilerplate code from electron demo app:
'use strict';
const electron = require('electron');
const app = electron.app;
// adds debug features like hotkeys for triggering dev tools and reload
require('electron-debug')();
// prevent window being garbage collected
let mainWindow;
function onClosed() {
// dereference the window
// for multiple windows store them in an array
mainWindow = null;
}
function createMainWindow() {
const win = new electron.BrowserWindow({
width: 1280,
height: 720,
minWidth: 1280,
minHeight: 720
});
win.loadURL(`file://${__dirname}/react-mobx-router/build/index.html`);
//win.loadURL(`http://localhost:3000`);
win.on('closed', onClosed);
return win;
}
app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
app.quit();
}
});
app.on('activate', () => {
if (!mainWindow) {
mainWindow = createMainWindow();
}
});
app.on('ready', () => {
mainWindow = createMainWindow();
});
I also have to manually change some paths at the react built index.html so it will look like:
<link href="./static/css/main.9d8efafe.css" rel="stylesheet">
instead of:
<link href="/static/css/main.9d8efafe.css" rel="stylesheet">
The second one get's the following errors:
file:///D:/static/css/main.9d8efafe.css Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
main.05ef4655.js Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
The point is that, when I launch the Electron app with yarn start (changing the paths I've told you previously) it launches without any error nor issue but only a blank screen, if I go to the files and look for them, they are correct and the code is inside, bundled and all that react-create-app stuff does.
This is the default configuration of the package.json that comes with Electron and I haven't modified:
{
"name": "app",
"productName": "App",
"version": "0.0.0",
"description": "",
"license": "MIT",
"repository": "user/repo",
"author": {

"start": "electron .",
"build": "electron-packager . --out=dist --asar --overwrite --all"
},
"files": [
"index.js",
"index.html",
"index.css"
],
"keywords": [

"xo": "^0.16.0"
},
"xo": {
"esnext": true,
"envs": [
"node",
"browser"
]
}
}
Also this is the package.json of my React Project:
{
"name": "react-mobx",
"version": "0.1.0",
"private": true,
"devDependencies": {
"custom-react-scripts": "0.0.23",
"mobx-react-devtools": "^4.2.11"
},
"dependencies": {
"mobx": "^3.1.4",
"mobx-react": "^4.1.2",
"mobx-react-router": "latest",
"react": "^15.4.2",
"react-dom": "^15.4.2",
"react-router": "latest"
},
"scripts": {
"start": "react-scripts start",
"build": "react-scripts build",
"test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
"eject": "react-scripts eject"
}
}
Note that the React App is fully functional if I don't make use of Electron.
That's why I ask for your wisdom, mates. I need some light here so I can keep moving on with this project. Hope you can help me with this issue and I've provided you with enough information. If you need more info, just let me know.
Warm regards,
Alex.

I'm no React hero (by a long chalk) but I am able to run, hot reload and release build using the schema set out by this boilerplate: electron-es6-react. I added some conditional code to main.js (below) for builds. There are no doubt much better solutions.
You definitely need to merge your React package.json with Electron's.
var isDev = process.env.APP_DEV ? (process.env.APP_DEV.trim() == "true") : false;
if (isDev) {
// only add this during development
require('electron-reload')(__dirname, {
electron: path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules', '.bin', 'electron')
});
}
