# Deal with error when pnpm start

## `Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined`

Or `Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'call')    at __webpack_require__ (index.js:4317:33)`

`pnpm run clean:cache` can fix this.

## Electron download slow

Add `.npmrc` on this project (sometimes the one at home folder is not working).

```npmrc
electron-mirror=https://registry.npmmirror.com/-/binary/electron/
electron_custom_dir={{ version }}
```

and run `node node_modules/electron/install.js` manually.

## Preparing native dependencies `Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'xxx/node_modules/.pnpm/node_modules/@types/lodash-es'`

Or `[FAILED: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\Users\linonetwo\Documents\repo-c\TidGi-Desktop\node_modules\.pnpm\node_modules\@radix-ui\react-compose-refs']`

Remove it by run `rm 'xxx/node_modules/.pnpm/node_modules/@types/lodash-es'` fixes it. Maybe pnpm install gets interrupted, and make a file-like symlink, get recognized as binary file. Remove it will work.

## An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge about node-abi:

Solution: Update `@electron/rebuild` to latest version:

```shell
pnpm up @electron/rebuild@latest
```

## Fetch failed at fetchAvailableUpdates

We use [electron-chrome-web-store](https://github.com/samuelmaddock/electron-browser-shell/blob/master/packages/electron-chrome-web-store/README.md) to load react dev tools, so you need to add `https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx` to your Clash/Proxifier list. May need to enable system proxy and TUN mode or so.

## Finalizing package postPackage error

Add `DEBUG=electron-packager` to package, like:

`cross-env NODE_ENV=production DEBUG=electron-packager electron-forge make --platform=win32 --arch=x64`

<https://github.com/electron/forge/issues/3645>

Usually you need to fix [scripts\afterPack.js](../scripts/afterPack.js)

If use pnpm, need to copy dependency binary from `.pnpm` folder, but if add `node-linker=hoisted` to [.npmrc](../.npmrc) then we can simply copy from node_modules folder.

## no such file or directory dprint

> no such file or directory, stat 'TiddlyGit-Desktop/node_modules/.pnpm/node_modules/@dprint/darwin-arm64'

Solution:

```sh
pnpm store prune
pnpm uninstall dprint
pnpm i -D dprint -f
```
