I have been attempting to connect to an auto-updating server. I am currently using NodeJS, NPM, Electron Forge, and Vite. I have tried to use MSSQL multiple times, but I run into a circular reference error every time. I’m looking for a solution to how I’m currently doing it or another route.

My process so far in Visual Studio Code

1. npm init electron-app@latest serverTest — –template=vite

2. cd serverTest

3. npm install mssql msnodesqlv8 tedious

4. npm install buffer

5. Paste the sample code given to test

   import sql from ‘mssql’;
   (async () => {
   try {
   // make sure that any items are correctly URL encoded in the connection string
   await sql.connect(‘Server=localhost,1433;Database=database;User Id=username;Password=password;Encrypt=true’)
   const result = await sql.queryselect * from mytable where id = ${value}
   console.dir(result)
   } catch (err) {
   // … error checks
   }
   })()

6.npm start
7. Uncaught TypeError: Class extends value undefined is not a constructor or null
