Exception could not locate binding file after upda

Question

I'm working on updating my project from using electron version 1.2.5 to the newest electron at this time which is 1.7.7 (atleast it was when I downloaded it). My node version 6.9.1.

I've encountered a problem when I start my project with this new electron version, the error in general is about "could not locate the binding files. and it mostly regards the async module.

There is also some part of the exception regarding node-etcd module which I use in my project (version 5.0.3)

I tried to install async module again in a new folder and replace it (with its deps) in the node modules folder im currently using for my project, but I still got the same error.

(I can only use them in a different computer and copy the results to a flash drive and bring them to th

Here's 2 pictures of the error (sorry about the quality, its the best I could get):

The solution that fixed the problem in my case was going into node_modules - > deasync - > index.js Before line 31 I added a newline (next to the binding line) and wrote:

modPath = __dirname;

This solution is hacky, it was accually ly found by an associate a while back, so I am not sure why it works, it might be an issue in deasync, but it fixed the problem.
