Hello,

I am trying to do an npm run make command which equates to electron-vite build --outDir=dist && electron-forge make

It starts the process and gets down to Preparing native dependencies: 1 / 2

and then gives me this error:

 gyp: name 'openssl_fips' is not defined while evaluating condition 'openssl_fips != ""' in binding.gyp while trying…
  Error: `gyp` failed with exit code: 1
      at ChildProcess.onCpExit (E:\electron-projects\...
      
      An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:

I am on windows and I was able to buide my app on electron and electron forge before moving over to electron-vite so I am not sure what is going on now.

I did add the line to my electron.vite.config.js file after seeing it in the docs about sqlite3

import { resolve } from 'path';
import { defineConfig, externalizeDepsPlugin } from 'electron-vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';

export default defineConfig({
  main: {
    build: {
      rollupOptions: {
        external: ['sqlite3']
      }
    },
    plugins: [externalizeDepsPlugin()]
  },
  preload: {
    plugins: [externalizeDepsPlugin()]
  },
  renderer: {
    resolve: {
      alias: {
        '@renderer': resolve('src/renderer/src')
      }
    },
    plugins: [vue()]
  }
});
