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:

Answer 1

In case this above has not worked for anyone, here is what worked for me:

sudo apt install node-sqlite3

(I am using Ubuntu with Vscode as editor). It seems installing this node-sqlite3 module was the one that was recognized.

Answer 2

To skip searching for pre-compiled binaries, and force a build from source, use

npm install --build-from-source

Answer 3

It seems this is a problem with the sqlite3 npm package itself. There exists a lib\binding\Release\ folder, but not a lib\binding\Debug\ folder. I just created a copy of the Release folder, named it Debug, and all is well.

Answer 4

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

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

Answer 5

I got the kind of problem, my node version is v10.16.3 This globally installed sqlite3 gives error in loading by require('sqlite3')

It been solved by install a sqlite3 local to project.

$ npm install sqlite3

Note without -g option, it works for me.

Answer 6

use this:-

npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source
