NODE_MODULE_VERSION problems with electron 1.7.6 #77

jflitton · 2017-09-24T03:52:41Z

I'm using node version 7.10.0, electron 1.7.6 and macOS. When running

const keytar = remote.require('keytar')

the following error occurs

The module '/Volumes/Code/dynamodb-workbench/dist/node_modules/keytar/build/Release/keytar.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 57. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 54. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or`npm install`).

Things I've tried:

Deleting/re-installing all modules
Switching to Node 8.4.0
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild
Using the script defined here

Any idea what's going on here? I would've expected one of the three ways to get native modules to work would do the trick.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Also can reproduce with electron-forge:

electron-forge init test-project
cd test-project
npm install keytar --save

add the following to index.html:

<script>
    import {remote} from 'electron'
    const keytar = remote.require('keytar')
</script>

npm start

On load I get the following error in the console:

Still using macOS and node 8.4.0

ecnepsnai · 2017-10-04T16:57:10Z

I'm also having this problem on both node 6.11.4 and 8.6.0 (tried both)

s4m2d · 2017-10-10T20:38:18Z

Having the same issue with node 8.2.1 and electron 1.7.8 (think this is an electron / electron-rebuild problem. Electron uses a different version of NodeJs than your environment.)
have a look at: https://github.com/electron/electron-rebuild
electron and node-hid; using electron-rebuild, but getting:
(For me rebuild only works as script named "postinstall", not tested yet)

Uncaught Exception:

EricRabil · 2017-10-16T19:12:48Z

This sounds like more of an electron problem than a node-keytar problem

gagarin55 · 2017-10-19T20:48:09Z

I can't find 54 version at https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/, any suggestions ?

s4m2d · 2017-10-21T23:20:02Z

It's the module version, think it's used in Node v. 7.0.0 (just a guess)

benjcresswell · 2017-10-23T11:36:51Z

We had the same problem but got around it by ensuring that ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild is run directly after any npm install on our macs

ruankotovich · 2018-01-22T14:58:08Z

I'm having the same problem as OP (the exact version by the way)

I am using nvm to downgrade my env node version to the exact current Electron node version, also, I am using electron-rebuild in order to try rebuild the imported module.

The native module is mine and compiled by my own.

I've tried to follow this tutorial but the error keeps going on, and I dunno how to do.

bwheeler96 · 2018-01-29T05:21:20Z

./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

^ This worked for me

ddombrowsky · 2018-02-11T01:07:05Z

same problem with node-usb

App threw an error during load
Error: The module 'node_modules/usb/src/binding/usb_bindings.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 48. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 54. Please try re-compiling or re-installing

I installed the rebuild tool using npm install electron-rebuild and ran ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild. Seemed to work. Wish I knew what the root cause was, though.

Acika00mk · 2018-03-02T12:30:31Z

HI,
had the same issue,
and i fixed it with

"electron": "^1.8.2",
"keytar-prebuild": "^4.1.1",
"electron-rebuild": "^1.7.3",
node version  : 8.9.4

Include in the main.ts/main.js file
const keytar = require('keytar-prebuild');
Remove node_modules folder and package-lock.json.
Do normal npm install then ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild.
If you want you can try to package it to an app, it will work. Tested.

iamyohann · 2018-03-14T10:09:18Z

@Acika00mk also remember to rebuild dev dependencies as electron-rebuild only does prod and optional dependencies by default.

Use this instead for devDependencies as well
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -p -t "dev,prod,optional"

-p for parallel

denigada · 2018-04-04T22:35:33Z

I am having the same issue with nwjs, could not find a working solution

adeperio · 2018-05-02T01:52:08Z

@bwheeler96 's solution worked for me to

Install electron-rebuild: npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
Run $(npm bin)/electron-rebuild to build binaries for the right version of node
Add "$(npm bin)/electron-rebuild" in my package.json scripts

Followed the instructions on https://github.com/electron/electron-rebuild "How does it work?"

beauallison · 2018-06-26T19:27:20Z

Passing the target version number using the -v arg worked for me.

Note: this is the Electron version, not the Node version.

Eg ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -v 1.7.12

moki298 · 2018-08-28T05:06:10Z

I faced the same issue with grpc module and in my case, I was using electron and have set a wrong electron version in the env variable "export npm_config_target=1.2.3", setting it to the electron version I am using resolved the issue on my end. Hope this helps someone who set env variables as given here (https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/using-native-node-modules#the-npm-way)

LukeTurp · 2019-05-02T20:08:42Z

I had this same issue with a different library. I came accross this issue, and @benjcresswell 's solution worked for me, but I was on Windows - so I ran:
.\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd
Thanks to everyone's efforts to resolve this.

shiftkey · 2019-05-25T15:33:19Z

Closing this out because building native modules correctly is outside the scope of keytar, and the Electron docs are what I recommend reading to get your environment setup.
