I’ve looked at the other forum posts with the exact same error but none of the solutions have worked. My engine is actually at v12 and it isnt bugged.

rm node_modules && enable-npm && npm i

That does work if you run then if you put it in glitch.json the right way.

I don’t think I have a file named glitch.json? I’ve tried that command in the terminal and it didn’t seem to work. Am I missing anything?

I actually now think it’s better-sqlite3 so maybe ask a question or something

I’m confused what you’re trying to say. The issue is with better-sqlite3 however I can’t figure out how to fix it.

Issue reports.

Hi @LordOfLlamaz - if you change your version of Node to something different (where it was before you updated it to v12) does it work again? I can’t tell from the better-sqlite3 page what version(s) of Node they support.
