Electron Forge version

6.0.0-beta.63

Electron version

16.0.8

Operating system

Windows 10

Last known working Electron Forge version

6.0.0-beta.63

Expected behavior

After Hot-Reloading during electron-forge start the installed node-modules should still be findable. and the variable in the path should not turn into undefined.

Actual behavior

I've installed better-sqlite3 and wrote some code using it. Then I started up the application using electron-forge start and everything just worked. Then I made an adjustment and the app reloaded, but stopped running with this error in dev tools:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:940 Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'undefinedbuild/Release/better_sqlite3.node'
Require stack:
- electron/js2c/renderer_init
    at Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:940)
    at Function.o._resolveFilename (node:electron/js2c/renderer_init:33)
    at Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:785)

    at new Database (database.js?4c26:48)
    at openDB (openDB.ts?4563:7)
    at getIndex (getIndex.ts?af7b:8)

After closing it and reissuing electron-forge start it proceeded to run as intended, Until I reload once. then this error messages appears again.

When I reload the app some variable seems to be set to undefined and the module discontinues to be findable

Steps to reproduce

1. follow this guide to setup electron with typescript and react
2. Install better-sqlite3
3. add this to a .ts file (I do not know if it makes a difference, for this scenario, having it in .ts or .tsx, i do have it in a .ts file)

import Database from 'better-sqlite3';

export const openDB = () => {
	const db = new Database('test.db', {});
	return db;
};

4. run electron-forge start
5. make a change to trigger Hot-Reload
