Can't resolve './build/Debug/watcher.node' in '/.../myApp/node_modules/@parcel/watcher'

[stoefln]

I am trying to use parcel watcher v2.5.1 in my electron app (using electron v12), but webpack reports an error:

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './build/Release/watcher.node' in '/Users/.../myApp/node_modules/@parcel/watcher'
 @ ./app/lib/FileManager.js 26:0-43 615:21-38 740:21-38 811:21-38 873:21-38
 @ ./app/stores/UiStore.js 29:0-48 554:24-50
 @ ./app/App.js 73:0-42 445:22-36
 @ ./app/main.js 30:12-39 112:2-115:4 112:29-115:3

My code looks like this:

const watcher = require('@parcel/watcher');

When I check the dir module dir, it does not contain a build folder. What am I missing?
I guess there is no prebuilt binary for such an old electron version, but for several reasons I can't upgrade.

Any advice how to go forward?

Thank you for this amazing contribution!
