sqlite, typescript

Research direction

Start by tracing the SQLite storage configuration in src/utils and how server/store.sqlite is resolved or copied when the server starts. Verify which database file the running server opens and compare it with the file containing the users table; done means the first login no longer reports SQLITE_ERROR: no such table: users.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When performing the first login I receive this error:

"SQLITE_ERROR: no such table: users",

The sqlite db is there and I can read from it with an sql tool. I've also verified that the table users is available.

The location of this file is in server/store.sqlite but somehow when I run my server it gets copied to the root folder (whic part of the logic does this, maybe sequelize?)

I can read from src/utils that storage: './store.sqlite', so I guess the db should be located inside the server/src directory, but even copying it manually inside src doesn't fix the problem.

Maybe I've missed a step somehow?
