Electron.js rebuild error with better-sqlite3 about better-sqlite3 HOT 7 CLOSED

This is not an issue of better-sqlite3 but a known one with node-gyp in combination with Python, which both are required to get the native module compiled. While the prebuilt binaries are not yet available, you might have a look here #1154 (comment).

from better-sqlite3.

Compilation for Electron v29 requires the changes from #1151. So you may either install better-sqlite3 manually from the related branch or downgrade to Electron v28 in order to make use of the prebuilt binary.

What you linked worked! Thanks.
However I'm now getting this error about node version and online it says to just rebuild again but that doesn't fix anything.

Error: The module '/home/dez/vsc/VideoDeck-V2/node_modules/better-sqlite3/build/Release/better_sqlite3.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 121. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 108. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).

Any clue about how to fix this? Thanks.

That means that, while you now have a version of better-sqlite3 compiled for Electron v29 (module version 121), the actual runtime loading the native module is Node 18 (module version 108). My best guess would be, that your start script is not calling Electron for execution.

After upgrade to 9.4.4 and electron 29.1.6, I get this error when running yarn electron-rebuild:
