Why is child_process electron not working?

Question

JavaScript

Hello!
My application sends me a message that I wrote in a text field.
Without assembly, the program works well. But when I collect it via electron-packager no messages are sent.

const { app, BrowserWindow, ipcMain } = require('electron');
const child_process = require('child_process');

ipcMain.on('begin', (e, ...args) => {
  let child = child_process.fork('easyvk.js');
  child.send(args);
});

Can you please suggest a solution to the problem or push to it. I haven't been able to figure it out for a week now.

Answer 1

Most likely a problem with the paths for 'easyvk.js'.
First, it's best to always calculate the absolute path to the file.
Secondly, electron-packager packs the application into asar, and if require is patched to work with it, then child_process most likely does not exist and the file needs to be unpacked before launch.
