bindings.js not found

[FrenchBen]

I'm using the gitbook-mermaid-plugin and running into a binding issue:

/srv/gitbook/node_modules/gitbook-plugin-mermaid/node_modules/phantom/node_modules/dnode/node_modules/weak/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:91
  throw err
  ^

Error: Could not locate the bindings file. Tried:

The culprit line in weak/lib/weak.js is:

var bindings = require('bindings')('weakref.node');

I did find the 'weakref.node' file at the following location: build/Release/obj.target/weakref.node which is not one of the path searched. Why is it not in the proper spot aka build/Release/weakref.node?

Any idea how to fix this?

@FrenchBen did you get a solution for this? I´m currently facing the same issue in another library.

@HenningThiemann I don't remember exactly, but more than likely a clear of build artifacts + proper npm version did the trick.
