On intel mac and node19, failing better-sqlite3 install seems to cause a confusing error on RedEye. #50
Description
Describe the bug
- When I run yarn install on a mac with Node 19.X, better-sqlite3 fails. This is documented all over the place in various ways.
- I can build all release packages as per the instructions in the README, and everything appears to succeed
- When running yarn run start:server, it exits immediately.
❯ AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD=foo ./release/mac/RedEye --redTeam
HTTP server closedTo Reproduce
- Use Node19
- note that yarn install fails on better-sqlite3
- build the redeye binaries
- run the server
Expected behavior
The server should probably notice something is wrong, instead of just exiting suddenly.
Screenshots

- OS: MacOS monterey, Intel CPU
- NodeJS: 19.2.X
This was resolved by moving to Node18, but the error was really mysterious and I could not figure out what was going wrong.
