I’m packaging using electron-builder, i’m not using webpack.

This is my package-json

Everything works fine when I run in dev mode using npm start, the trigger “ready” works right, but in package mode I scan the qr code and the trigger doesn’t work.

I read every issue in the lib https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js, but I couldn’t find something useful to my problem
