NixOs: Can’t setup development with electron: Error: spawn ENOENT

Question

I need to create a project involving electron and some libraries (easymidi), but I can't find how to do:

• If I install electron from Nix directly, for instance using nix-shell -p electron_17, I can start a basic hello world project, but then I can't import other node libraries (if I install them with yarn, I get an error about unknown symbols, I guess because yarn and the nix electron runs different nodejs version
• If I do everything using yarn or npm, electron can't even start a basic hello world folder:

$ nix-shell -p yarn
$ git clone https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start
$ cd electron-quick-start/
$ yarn install
$ yarn start
yarn run v1.22.15
  $ electron .
events.js:377
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn /tmp/c/electron-quick-start/node_modules/electron/dist/electron ENOENT

}

Any idea what I did wrong? How can I setup electron with some random libraries like easymidi?

EDIT

Here is the log file (tried the same with npm, same error):

EDIT

I also tried npm2nix-like tools, but they also failed.
