I had a similar problem with robotjs  There were some deprecated code that required node v11  but I had already compiled electron code on v12  So I got basically the same error  Nothing here worked as I was basically trying to rebuild electron and my other dependencies into node v11 from v12    Here is what I did  part of this is based on chitzui s answer  credit where credit is due     Back up package json completely delete the node modules folder completely delete package lock json delete package json  will reinit later  Close any open editors and other cmd windows that are in the project s directory  run npm init to reinit package  then missing data with old backed up package json run npm i fixed      Hope this helps

you need just run this below commands     rm -rf node modules   rm -rf yarn lock   yarn install   and finally      node modules  bin electron-rebuild   don t forget to yarn add electron-rebuild if it doesn t exist in your dependencies

I have hit this error twice in an electron app and it turned out the problem was that some modules need to be used from the main process rather than the render process  The error occurred using pdf2json and also node-canvas  Moving the code that required those modules from index htm  the render process  to main js  the main process  fixed the error and the app rebuilt and ran perfectly  This will not fix the problem in all cases but it is the first thing to check if you are writing an electron app and run into this error

I had the same problem and nothing mentioned here worked for me  Here is what worked for me    Require all dependencies you need in the main js file that is run by electron   this seemed to be the first important part for me  Run npm i -D electron-rebuild to add the electron-rebuild package Remove the node-modules folder  as well as the packages-lock json file  Run npm i to install all modules  Run   node modules  bin electron-rebuild    node modules  bin electron-rebuild cmd for Windows  to rebuild everything   It is very important to run   node modules  bin electron-rebuild directly after npm i otherwise it did not work on my mac   I hope I could help some frustrated souls

Simply run   npm uninstall bcrypt  Followed by   npm install bcrypt  or npm install  if bcrypt is declared as dependency in your package json file

you can see this link   to check your node verison right  using NODE MODULE VERSION 51 means that your node version is nodejs v7 x  requires NODE MODULE VERSION 57 means you need upgrade your node to v8 x so you need to upgrade your node   and then you need run npm rebuild command to rebuild your project

Check the Node version you re using  might be a mismatch between what it is expected

For Electron modules  install electron-rebuild   Format  electron-rebuild -o  lt module name gt  -v  lt electron version gt   Example  electron-rebuild -o myaddon -v 9 0 0-beta 6   Specify the same version that you have installed in the current directory  You might have this experience where a standard node-gyp build would report as 64  then a basic electron-rebuild would report 76  not until you add -v with exact version it bumps to actual version 80  for 9 0 0-beta 6

In my case  I was in my office proxy which was skipping some of the packages  When I came out of my office proxy and tried to do npm install it worked  Maybe this helps for someone   But it took me several hours to identify that was the reason

Be sure you only have one version of NodeJS installed  Try these two   node --version sudo node --version   I initially installed NodeJS from source  but it was the incorrect version and  upgraded  to the newest version using nvm  which doesn t remove any previous versions  and only installs the desired version in the  root  nvm versions     directory  So sudo node was still pointing to the previous version  whilst node was pointing to the newer version

I just got this error running kadence the installed  kadence  script checks for nodejs first and only runs node if there is no nodejs  I have the latest version of node linked into my   bin directory but nodejs runs an older version that I had forgotten to uninstall but never caused problems until just now   So people with this problem might check if node and nodejs actually run the same version of node

Here is what worked for me  I am using looped-back node module with Electron Js and faced this issue  After trying many things following worked for me  In your package json file in the scripts add following lines          quot scripts quot              quot start quot    quot electron   quot            quot rebuild quot    quot electron-rebuild quot                     And then run following command npm run rebuild

Turns out my problem was user-error  make sure the version of node you are using for running is the same that you are using when running an npm install or yarn    I use NVM for versioning node and was running yarn via a terminal  but my IDE was set to use an older version of node when running and it was throwing the error above  Matching my IDE s version of node in the run config to node --version fixed the issue

You could remove bcrypt entirely and install bcryptjs  It is  30  slower  but has no dependencies  so no pains installing it   npm i -S bcryptjs  amp  amp  npm uninstall -S bcrypt   We ve installed it successfully for our applications  We had issues with bcrypt not compiling on AWS instances for Node v8 x

Most likely you have this issue due to the package-lock json  Somehow it seems to block you from recompiling or rebuilding your dependencies  even if you explicitly run npm rebuild  I ran all the following to fix it for me   rm package-lock json  rm -rf node modules  npm install

I got the same error but I was trying to run a node application using a Docker container   I fixed it by adding a  dockerignore file to ignore the node modules directory to make sure that when the docker image builds  it builds the native packages for the image I wanted  Alpine  instead of copying over the node modules compiled for my host  Debian
