Node binary is not found (using Electron) #2
Description
Hi,
It is not clear to me how exactly to use this package from the README. I have a "back-addon" module installed in the node_modules directory (using node-gyp). How should this package be declared in the systemjs configuration file in order to be able to use require(back-addon) in javascript?
For all clarity, I am using Electron, but I don't see how this makes a difference.
For the moment I have tried this (binary is node_modules/back-addon/back-addon.node):
System.config({
defaultJSExtensions: false,
paths: {
'npm:': 'node_modules/'
},
map: {
'node-binary': 'npm:systemjs-plugin-node-binary/node-binary.js',
'back-addon': 'npm:back-addon'
},
packages: {
'back-addon': {
main: './back-addon.node',
meta: {
'*.node': {
loader: 'node-binary'
}
}
}
}
});
This gives the following error:
Error: Error: Node binary file http://localhost:3000/node_modules/back-addon/back-addon.node does not exist.

Removing the "main" property in packages (i.e. what is described in the README) gives the following error:

I made an MWE to illustrate the issue here.

This plugin won't support loading binary files in the browser.
