Node.js says it can't load sqlite3 module, but does anyway

Question

I'm working with the new Node.js Tools for Visual Studio and included the sqlite3 npm module. When I call require('sqlite3') it throws the error:

Error: Cannot find module './binding\Debug\node-v11-win32-ia32\node_sqlite3.node'

Odd thing is, when I ignore the error and continue running the code, everything works fine...until the function I'm in returns; then the server crashes.

Has anyone else had this issue? I have a suspicion that it has something to do with the ./binding part, but wouldn't know where to begin in terms of finding out why.

Answer 1

use this:-

npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source 

Answer 2

This is what worked for me: https://www.npmjs.com/package/sqlite3

npm install https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/tarball/master
