[node.js] Node - was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 51

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.
