How can I target my file with fork?
const { fork } = require('child_process');
...
const workerFilePath = path.join(WhatShouldIAddHere, 'worker.js');
...
any idea?
#fork from child process how to target file?
swift egret
raven flame
absolute path to file
swift egret
can I do like
./worker.js they are in the same path
raven flame
no
swift egret
Thank you, it's working, but have a question
const workerFilePath = path.join('./src/main/', 'worker.js')
this works for linux also ? (it convert?)
swift egret
hmmmm ... do i need to use app.path? something like that?
raven flame
you need to use __dirname
swift egret
you need to use __dirname
can't make it work
const workerFilePath = path.join(__dirname, 'worker.js')
result: Cannot find module \out\main\worker.js
what am i doing wrong?
raven flame
you dont have files in production folder
swift egret
i'm testing with npm run dev
swift egret
you dont have files in production folder
why the files doesn't go there?
swift egret
i didn't move anything...
let's start from the beginning
i created this to test a fork
./index.js
const { fork } = require('child_process')
ipcMain.on('start-task', () => {
const numbers = Array.from({ length: 10 }, (_, index) => index + 1)
const clusters = 3 // Number of clusters/workers
const numberChunks = []
const chunkSize = Math.ceil(numbers.length / clusters)
for (let i = 0; i < numbers.length; i += chunkSize) {
const chunk = numbers.slice(i, i + chunkSize)
numberChunks.push(chunk)
}
const workerFilePath = path.join(__dirname, 'worker.js')
for (let i = 0; i < numberChunks.length; i++) {
const worker = fork(workerFilePath)
const chunk = numberChunks[i]
worker.send({ chunk })
}
})
./worker.js
process.on('message', (message) => {
const { chunk } = message
console.log('Received chunk:', chunk)
})
npm run dev -> result: Cannot find module \out\main\worker.js

its question to your project structure and packagers/bundlers
files didnt magically goes from folder A to folder B
swift egret
i created the file... what do you mean with folder A and B? I used Electron Vite to create the project, I don't know if that helps
raven flame
you also need to setup vite
for new files
so he process worker.js file as well
i am not using vite so i cant help you with it
swift egret
But I have more files and they work properly , my utility folder have functions inside and all it's working :/
raven flame
because you require them
swift egret
owww .... thanks, i will try to find a solution
swift egret
correct
